McSorley's Two Beautiful Twins
Copyright: ?
Mrs. McSorely had two little twins
And two little darlins they were
They kept bawlin and squalin the whole blessed night
Had I mind her you I do declare.
They kept bawlin and squaling the whole blessed night
Like the sound of a fisherman's horn
Not a devil a wink any night have I slept
Since the two little darlins were born
Mr McSorely said a Christening we'll have
just to give the poor darlins a name,
Said Mrs. McSorely a Christening we'll have
And a good one to be sure for the same.
Well for godmothers May and Mag Murphy stood up
And for godfathers came the two Flynns
Dyanicious Ofya, Patricia Marya,
were the names that they christened the twin.
With the beer and the whiskey the whole blessed night
We couldn't stand up on our pins
What an elegant time at the christening we had
Of Mc Sorely's two beautiful twins.
Now Mr. Mc Sorely jumped up in a rage
And threatend Mr Mullins his life
He said Oh Mr Mullins, I'll break the first man
Who dare lay a hand on me wife.
Now the Flynns and the Murphys they had an old grudge
And the Murphys pitched into the Flynns
They fought like the devil
Turned over the beds
Sure they smothered the two little twins.
Oh with the beer and the whiskey the whole blessed night
We couldn't stand up on our pins.
What an elegant time at the christening we had
Of McSorely's two beautiful twins.
