Текст песни Twice Daily (Wolfe Tones) с переводом

When I was a lad I was so glad

To go out in the daytime

With me fork, a bottle and a cork

To help out in the haytime

Tossin' hay one fine day

I met young Lucy Bailey

And I said my dear «Are you often here»

She said «Yes sir, twice daily»

Well we had such fun in the summer sun

Lucy was so thrillin'

So sweet and pure but I wasn’t sure

If that girl was willin'

Until one day among the hay

We were working gaily

When she up’s and slips and her garters ripped

And I went there twice daily

Did the rum do dee, did de rum do da

Did the rum da do do randy

Did the rye do dee, did the rye do da

Did the rye do dee, twice daily

Well Lucy’s dad he was very mad

He chased me’round the haybarn

He said «You son, now you’ve had your fun

The time has come to pay now»

«The girl you’ll wed», the old man said

As he waved his shotgun gaily

«If you don’t», he says, «where I’ll put the lead

You won’t sit there twice daily»

So the very next day in the month of May

We held the ceremony

And we paid off the vicar with a gallon of liquor

And we rode to church on a pony

To Lucy’s joy we had a boy

What a little darlin'

He’s round and fat as a Cheshire cat

As perky as a starlin'

Did the rum do dee, did de rum do da

Did the rum da do do randy

Did the rye do dee, did the rye do da

Did the rye do dee, twice daily

Well now we’re old, our story’s told

Forty years together

Tho' we often stray where we tossed the hay

In that old time summer weather

Well, kids we’ve got ten or more

We goes on quiet gaily

Tho' I’m old and grey when I’ve got me way

I still go there twice daily

Did the rum do dee, did de rum do da

Did the rum da do do randy

Did the rye do dee, did the rye do da

Did the rye do dee, twice daily
