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, toora loora laddie

At the age of seventeen I was 'prenticed 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 a-twitchin'

She invited me to a courtin' 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 fishin'

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, wearin' nothin' 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, but to get to the home I was itchin'

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 screechin'

And I got six months hard, for me courtin' 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

Ven solteros belle and beau, a mí presta atención

No te enamores nunca, es un invento del diablo

Una vez me enamoré de una dama tan hechizante

Miss Henrietta Bell fuera de la cocina del Capitán Kelly

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

A la edad de diecisiete años fui 'aprendiz de un tendero

No muy lejos de Stephen's Green, donde solía ir la señorita Henry, señor.

Sus modales eran tan buenos que hizo que mi corazón se estremeciera

Ella me invitó a un cortejo en la cocina

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

El próximo domingo es el día en que fuimos a tener un brote.

Me vestí bastante gay y me encrespé y me engrasé el cabello.

El capitán no tenía esposa, se había ido a pescar

Así que le dimos una buena vida a Holey en la cocina

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Ella se deslizó hasta su habitación, yo digo buen Dios, oh señora

Volvió a bajar las escaleras, usando nada más que su camisón

Con sus brazos alrededor de mi cintura, insinuó astutamente matrimonio.

Cuando a la puerta a toda prisa, llegó el carruaje del capitán Kelly

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Cuando el capitán bajó las escaleras, ¿nos vemos en mi situación?

A pesar de todas mis oraciones, me llevaron a la estación

A mí no me pusieron fianza, pero para llegar a la casa me picaba

Y tuve que decírselo al sastre, porque entré a la cocina

Bueno, juré que ella me invitó, aunque lo negó rotundamente.

Por agresión sí me acusaron y me mandaron a juicio

Ella juró que robé la casa a pesar de todos mis chillidos

Y tengo seis meses duros, para mí cortejando en la cocina

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho

Conmigo toora loora la, toora loora laddie

Toora loora la, toora loora muchacho
