If You Were The Only Girl in The World (and I Were The Only Boy) 03:11
lyrics
buy track
Sometimes, when I feel bad and things look blue I wish, the girl I had was one like you Someone within my heart to build her throne Someone who'd never part, to call my own I’ll try, a love to keep dear, strong and true I’ll try, a world to reach dear, just made for me and you If you were the only girl in the world And I were the only boy Nothing else would matter in the world today We could go on loving in the same old way A Garden of Eden just made for two With nothing to mar our joy I could say such wonderful things to you There would be such wonderful things to do If you were the only girl in the world And I were the only boy

As I was going over the far famed Kerry Mountains I came on Captain Farrell and his money he was counting I first produced me pistol, I then produced me rapier I said: "Stand and deliver for you are a bold deceiver" Musha ring dumma do dumma daa Wack fol the daddy-ol Wack fol the daddy-ol There's whiskey in the jar I counted up his money and it made a pretty penny I put it in me pocket and took it home to Jenny She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me But the devil take the woman for they never can be easy Musha ring dumma do dumma daa Wack fol the daddy-ol Wack fol the daddy-ol There's whiskey in the jar I went up to me chamber but for to take a slumber I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder But Jenny took me charges and she filled them up with water And she sent for Captain Farrell to be ready for the slaughter Musha ring dumma do dumma daa Wack fol the daddy-ol Wack fol the daddy-ol There's whiskey in the jar 'Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel Up came a band of footman and likewise Captain Farrell I first produced me pistol for she stolen away me rapier I couldn't shoot for water so a prisoner a was taken Musha ring dumma do dumma daa Wack fol the daddy-ol Wack fol the daddy-ol There's whiskey in the jar If anyone can aid me tis my brother in the army If I could find his station in Cork or in Killarney And if he will go with me we'll go roaving through Killkenny And he's sure to treat me better than me own disportin' Jenny Musha ring dumma do dumma daa Wack fol the daddy-ol Wack fol the daddy-ol There's whiskey in the jar Musha ring dumma do dumma daa Wack fol the daddy-ol Wack fol the daddy-ol There's whiskey in the jar

The Dublin City Rounders Dublin, Ireland

If The Dublin City Rounders were a dog it would be a pink bulldog with a cowboy hat, a studded leather collar and sporting a sleeveless denim jacket.

Two Irish brothers, one mind and a single beating heart made of rock n roll gold.
Whether playing a Stephen Foster esque song from the 1880’s or a brand new self penned classic you can’t take your eyes, or ears, off these lads! ... more
