Don't [C]ever fall in love

At the age [C]of seventeen
I apprenticed to a [G]grocer
Not [C]far from Stephen's Green

Her [C]manners were sublime she
set my heart a- [G]twitchin'
When [F]she invited me to a [G]party
in the kitchen

[Verse 6]
[C]Sunday was the day that they
were to have their [G]flare- up
He [C]dressed himself quite gay
I [F]frizzed and oiled [G]my hair up
The [C]Captain had no wife and
he had [G]gone a- fishin'
She [F]groped me on the stairs be
[G]neath the old man's kitchen
CHORUS: [C]With me toora loora la,

[Verse 7]
[C]
me toora loor[G]a laddie
Me [C]toora loora la and me
[G]toora loor[C]a laddie

[Verse 8]
Her arms around my waist [C]she
slyly hinted marriage
When to the door in haste came
Captain Kelly's carriage
Her eyes were full of hate and
poison she was spittin'
The [F]Captain kicked the door [C]in and
[G]stormed into the kitchen
CHORUS: [C]With me

[Verse 9]
toora loora la,
me toor[G]a loora laddie
[C]Me toora loora la and [G]me toora loor
[C]a laddie
