Songs of an Irish Grandfather

My Sweetheart’s a Mule in the Mine

My sweetheart's a mule in the mine
And I ride her without any line
And on the buckboard, I sit
And I chew and I spit
All over my sweetheart's behind

Old Mamie Reilly

Oh, Mamie Reilly, and how are you today
Oh, Mamie Reilly, I'm going far away
Won't you kiss me Mamie, before I part
Oh, Mamie, Mamie, Mamie Reilly!
Slide Kelly, Slide
Casey’s at the bat.
Oh, Mamie Reilly, where’d you get that hat?
Down in Old Kentucky, from old black Joe
Oh, Mamie, Mamie, Mamie Reilly!

Who Threw the Overalls in Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder

Oh, who threw the overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder
Nobody spoke, so he shouted all the louder
It's an Irish trick that's true
I could lick the mick that threw
The overalls in Mrs Murphy's chowder

Barney Google

Barney Google with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes
Barney Google had a wife three times his size
She stood Barney for divorce
Now he's living with his horse
Barney Google with the goo-goo-goo-ga-ly eyes

Oh Evaline

Oh Evaline, say you’ll be mine
Oh won’t you come along and listen to me
Way down yonder in the old corn field
For you I pine
Sweeter than the honey
To the honey bee
Say I love you and you love me
Meet me in the shade of the old apple tree
Oh Eval-Ival-ova, eval-ival-ova-line

Lafayette Song

Way up on the hill there’s a college
and Lafayette is her name
there upon the hill she grew
since 1832
and many a persons there obtained their knowledge

come join in our song to Lafayette, sir
that dear old college on the hill
come let us sing our song
let us sing it loud and long 
come join in our song to Lafayette
