] ]  repeat X 2
I  am a ceilidh cowboy
 I'm a stranger in this town
 You should hear your women squeal  with joy
 When I get  their knickers down
I'll  dance them and romance them
 Till they're nearly out of breath
 Then when I take them out  for air
 I'll fuck  them half to death
 Been sitting  on the fridge close to the edge
Runnin  out of coke and dyin for a poke
Don't  lock up your wives and daughters
 Don't lock up your cats and dogs
 Like I came down here my feet  all bare
 And I sleep  in a hollow log
 (repeat X 2)
Yippee  I oh, Yippee I ay
 Yodle odle  ee Yodle odle  ee
 Yodle odle  odle ay
] ]  repeat X 2
 My name is Father Emmett
 I've been banished from my home
 Cos all the women loved me
 And I always had the bone
 I can play the concertina,
 guitar, bazouki and citern
 When I dance the Siege of Ennis
 The floor beneath me starts to burn
 For a jar or two just to get me through
 I'll do a turn for you... and absolve you too
 I'll take care of your missus
 All night long the whole night through
 While you jump on that young one over there
 That's makin eyes at you
 (repeat X 4)
Yippee  I oh, Yippee I ay
 Yodle odle  ee Yodle odle  ee
 Yodle odle  odle ay
