COORTIN' IN THE
Come single belle and beau, to me now pay
And love, I'll show, is the divil's own invention.
For once I fell in love with a damsel most
Miss Henrietta Bell, down in Captain Kelly's

To my toora loora la, my loora laddy
Ri toora la, ri toora loora laddy.
At the age of seventeen, I was 'prenticed to a
Not far from Stephen's Green, where Miss Bell for tea go, sir
Her manners were so free, she set me heart
She me to tea, down in Captain Kelly's kitchen.
Next Sunday the day we were to have the flare-up
I dressed quite gay, an' I frizzed and oiled my hair up
The Captain had no wife, he had gone out
So we kicked up high life, in the kitchen.
Just as the clock struck six we sat down to the
She me tea and cakes --- I ate while I was able,
I ate cakes, drank and tea, till my side had got a stitch in
And the hours flew quick away, coortin' in the kitchen.
With my around her waist, I kissed ---she hinted marriage
To the door in haste came Captain Kelly's carriage!
Her looks told me full well moment she was wishin'
That I'd get out to Hell, or far from the kitchen.
She flew up off my knees, full feet or higher
And heads and heels, threw me slap into the fire
My new Repealers coat, I'd bought from Mrs. Stichen
With a thirty-shilling note, to blazes in the kitchen.
I grieved to see my duds, all besmeared smoke and ashes
a tub of dirty suds, right in my face she dashes.
As I lay on the floor, still the water she kept
the footman broke the door, and marched into the kitchen.
When the Captain came downstairs, and seen my
In spite of all my prayers I was marched off to the
For me they'd no bail, tho' to get home I was itchin'
And I had to tell the of how I got in the kitchen.
I said she did invite me, but she gave a denial
For assault she did indict me, and I was for trial.
She swore I robbed the house, in spite of all her
And I got six hard, for my coortin' in the kitchen.
