Clancy brothers and Tommy Makem - Courtin in the kitchen Chords

_ _ _ _ _ _ [Db] Come sing a bell and bow, and to me pay attention
[Ab] Don't ever fall in love, it's the devil's own invention
For once I fell in love with the maiden so bewitching
Miss Henry had to bail out of Captain Kelly's kitchen
With me turral or a [Eb] laddie, _ _ me turral or a [Ab] 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 sublime and she set me heart a twitching
And she invited me to a holy in the kitchen
With me turral or a laddie, _ _ _ me turral or a laddie
Next _ _ Sunday being the day we were to have the flare up
I dressed myself quite gay and I frizzed and oiled me hair up
The captain had no wife but he had gone a fishing
[Gb] And we kicked [Ab] up high life down below stairs in the kitchen
[Dbm] With me turral or a laddie, me turral [Ab] _ _
_ or a laddie
Just _ _ as the clock [Db] struck six we sat down to [Ab] the table
She handed tea and cake and I ate while I was able
I drank hot punch and tea till me side had got to stitching
[B] And the hours passed quick [Abm] away when you're courting in the kitchen
With [Db] me turral or a laddie, me [F] turral or a laddie
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ With [Ab] me arms around her waist she slyly hinted marriage
To the door in dreadful haste came Captain Kelly's carriage
Her eye stone filled with hate and poison she was spitting
When the captain at the door walked right into the kitchen
With [Db] me turral or a laddie, me [Gb] turral or a laddie
_ [Abm] _ _ _ _ [Ab] _ She [Db] flew up off me knees, well five [Ab] feet up or higher
And over head and heels threw me slap into the fire
Me new repealer's coat that I bought from Mr.
[B] Mitchell
With a twenty [Ab] shillin' note went to blazes in the kitchen
With me turral or a laddie, me turral _ [Dbm] _
or [Ab] a laddie
I _ _ grieved to see me duds all smeared with soot and ices
When a tub of dirty suds were right in me face she dices
As I lay on the floor and the water she kept pitching
[Gb] The footman broke [Ab] the door and walked straight into the kitchen
With [Dbm] me turral or a laddie, _ [Ab] _ _ [E]
me turral or [Ab] a laddie
When _ _ the captain came downstairs though he saw me situation
In spite of all me prayers I was marched off to the station
For me they'd take no [Db] bail but to get home I [Ab] was itchin'
But I had to tell the tale how I came into the kitchen
With [Eb] me turral or [F] a _ _ [Ab] _ [Abm] laddie, me turral [Eb] or a laddie
[Ab] I _ said she did invite me but she gave a flat denial
For assault she did indict me and I was sent for trial
She swore I robbed the house in spite of all her screeching
And I got six months hard for me courting in the kitchen
With [Dbm] me turral or a [Eb] laddie, me turral or a laddie
