Collection of Irish Song Lyrics
OBrien Has No Place To Go
Copyright: 1908
Now, Dennis O'Brien has three daughters fine,
The fairest young girls on the block;
And between you and me, every night after tea,
To O'Brien's the boys would all flock.
Young Mickey Clancey stepped in to see Nancy,
Tim McCann stepped in to see Rose;
And young Mickey Kelley stepped in to see Nell,
With a plea to her father she'd go.
Don't go into the front room, Dad,
Nancy's in there with her caller;
Daddy dear, won't you stay out here,
Rose has her friend in the parlour.
Don't go into the kitchen, Dad,
I'll be out there with my beau;
Now, since all of his girls have got steady young men,
Sure O'Brien has no place to go.
Last Saturday night, O'Brien got tight,
And he says to himself, now we'll see;
If three young galoots, dressed up in dude suits,
Make a wandering fool out of me.
Out went McCann on O'Brien's brogan,
Mickey Kelley and Clancey got sore;
They went over the stoop like an acrobat's troupe,
Now O'Brien will hear this no more.
Don't go into the front room, Dad,
Nancy's in there with her caller;
Daddy dear, won't you stay out here,
Rose has her friend in the parlour.
Don't go into the kitchen, Dad,
I'll be out there with my beau;
Now, since all of his girls have got steady young men,
Sure O'Brien has no place to go.
