peter street - the celtic connection lyrics

are you ready?
peter street
one, two, one two three four, here we go!

oh you landsmen and you seamen come listen to my song
it’s of a trick was played on me it won’t delay you long
i came from sea the other day a fair girl i did meet
she kindly asked me to a dance was up on peter street

oh no says i me fair maid though i can dance quite well
t’night i’m bound for wicklow’s town as were my people dwell
you’d better come with me she said for the distance is not far
and findin’ her so friendly i jumped into her car
well as the dance was over straight to the bed did go
t’was little did i ever think she’d pull my over*throw
robbed my gold watch, and thirty pounds, a pack of f*gs
and fled, and left me there stark naked alone upon the bed

when i awoke in the morning it was nothing did i spy
but a woman’s shirt and apr*n upon the bed did lie
i wrung my hands i tore my hair i cried what shall i do
ahh tonight i’m bound for wicklow’s town no more will i see you

(instrumental)

are you ready?
here we go again!

well as the streets were lonesome at the hour of two o’clock
i put on the shirt and apr*n and marched down to the dock
the crew, they saw me coming and these words to me did say
my dear old chap you’ve struck a snap since you’ve been gone away

are those the new spring fashions that the ladies wear on shore
where is the shop you bought them at and is there any more
the captain on the quarter deck looked at me with a frown
saying jack my boy a better suit than that for thirty pounds

i would sir if i could sir if i only had the chance
i met a girl on peter street and she asked me to a dance
she danced my hearts deception i got robbed from head to feet
i’ll take my oath no more i’ll go to a dance on peter street
oh you landsmen and you seamen a warning take by me
be sure to choose good company when you go out on spree
be sure to choose good company or you’ll find yourself like me
with a womans shirt and apr*n for to fit you out for sea
