When, when,
when, when,
when I was a little lad and so me mother told me
Wee holloway, wee holloway joe
That if I then kissed a girl,
smelliess will go all mouldy
Wee holloway, wee holloway joe
So I met up with a British girl,
but she was thin and lacy
Wee holloway, wee holloway joe
But then I met an Irish girl,
she almost drives me crazy
Wee holloway, wee holloway joe
Wee hey holloway,
wee holloway together Wee holloway,
wee holloway joe
Wee hey holloway,
wee holloway for better weather Wee holloway,
wee holloway joe
St. Patrick was a gentleman,
he came from decent people Wee holloway,
wee holloway joe
He built a church in Dublin town and
on it put the steeple Wee holloway,
wee holloway joe
And Louis was the king of France before the revolution Wee holloway,
wee holloway joe
But then he got his head cut off,
he spoiled his constitution
Wee holloway, wee holloway joe
One,
one,
one,
one.
Once I was on an island a-diggin' turf and taters.
Way haul away, we haul away Joe.
Then away on a junkie ship a-haulin' all the braces.
Having fun, see I out.
We all away Joe.
Way, hey, all away.
We all away together.
Way, all away.
We all away Joe.
Way, hey, all away.
We all for better weather.
Way, all away.
We all away Joe.
