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

To my loora la, my toora loora laddy
Ri toora loora la, ri toora laddy.
At the age of seventeen, I was to a grocer
Not far Stephen's Green, where Miss Bell for tea would go, sir
Her manners were so free, she set me heart
She invited me to tea, in Captain Kelly's kitchen.
Sunday bein' the day we were to have the flare-up
I dressed myself gay, an' I frizzed and oiled my hair up
The Captain had no wife, he had out a-fishin'
So we kicked up life, below-stairs in the kitchen.
Just as the clock six we sat down to the table
She served me tea and cakes --- I ate I was able,
I ate cakes, drank punch and tea, my side had got a stitch in
And the hours flew quick away, coortin' in the kitchen.
With my arms her waist, I kissed ---she hinted marriage
To the door in dreadful came Captain Kelly's carriage!
Her looks told me well that moment she was wishin'
That I'd get out to Hell, or far from the kitchen.
She up off my knees, full seven feet or higher
And over heads and heels, threw me slap the fire
My new Repealers coat, that I'd bought from Mrs.
a thirty-shilling note, went to blazes in the kitchen.
I grieved to see my duds, all besmeared smoke and ashes
When a tub of dirty suds, right in my she dashes.
As I lay on the floor, still the water she pitchin'
Till the footman the door, and marched into the kitchen.
When the came downstairs, and seen my situation
In of all my prayers I was marched off to the station
For me they'd take no bail, tho' to get home I was
And I had to tell the of how I got in the kitchen.
I said she did invite me, but she a flat 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 months hard, for my in the kitchen.
