Courtin' In The Kitchen - Gaelic Storm
Come single belle and beau
Unto me pay attention
Don't ever fall in love
It's the devil's own invention
Once I fell in love with a lady so bewitching
Miss Henrietta Bell out of Captain Kelly's kitchen
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la

At the age of seventeen
I was apprenticed to a grocer
Not far from Stephen's Green
Where Miss Henry used to go sir
Her manners were so fine
She set my heart twitching
She invited me to a courting in the kitchen
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Next Sunday being the day
That we went to have a flare-up
I dressed me self quite gay
And I frizzed and oiled me hair up
The captain had no wife
He had gone on fishing
So we kicked up high life to hooley in the kitchen
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
She slipped up to her room
I says good Lord oh lady
She came back down the stairs
Wearing nothing but her nightie
With her arms around me waist
She slyly hinted marriage
When to the door in haste
Came captain Kelly's carriage
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
When the captain came downstairs
Do we see me situation
In spite of all me prayers
I was marched off to the station
For me they set no bail
To get to the home I was itching
And I had to tell the tailor
For I came in to the kitchen
Well I swore she did invite me
Though she gave a flat denial
For assault they did indict me
And I was sent for trial
She swore I robbed the house
In spite of all me screeching
And I got six months hard
For me courting in the kitchen
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
With me toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
Toora loora la
Toora loora laddie
