lyrics

One for the Morning Glory – traditional

At the end of the day I like a little tay
To raise up me voice and sing
With an hour or two of a fine strong brew,
Then I’m ready for anything!
At the Cross Keys Inn, four sisters have been
The landlord's hottest fare
And every night when they turned out the light
I would tiptoe up the stair!
Singin'-

ONE FOR THE MORNING GLORY
TWO FOR THE EARLY DEW
THREE FOR THE MAN WHO WOULD STAND HIS GROUND
AND FOUR FOR THE LOVE OF YOU, ME GIRL!
FOUR FOR THE LOVE OF YOU!

I was called to war on a foreign shore
To go and fight the foe
I would see no more of the sisters four
And so I was sad to go!
I took that trip on a ship;
The Morning Glory was her name
And we'd all fall down when the rum went 'round
And get up and start again!
Singin'-


I sailed once more from that foreign shore
Farewell to the raging sea!
The Cross Keys Inn, it was beckonin'
And my heart was filled with glee!
For there on the shore were the sisters four
A bundle upon each knee
There were three little girls and a boy in curls
And they all looked just like me!
Singin'-
