Mrs. McGrath - Bruce Springsteen

[00:26.35]"Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said,“
[00:29.45]"Would you like to make a solider out of your son Ted?“
[00:32.14]With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat,
[00:34.93]And Mrs. McGrath, wouldn't you like that?"
[00:37.85]chorus
[00:39.13]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[00:43.58]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[00:48.46]
[00:51.49]Now, Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore,
[00:53.69]And after seven years or more
[00:56.62]She spied a ship come into the bay
[00:58.84]With her son from far away
[01:01.74]"Oh captain dear, where have you been?“
[01:04.29]You've been sailing the Mediterranean.
[01:06.99]Have you news of my son Ted?
[01:09.92]Is he living or is he dead?"
[01:12.95]chorus
[01:13.66]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:18.32]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:24.06]
[01:26.61]Up came Ted without any legs
[01:28.30]And in their place, two wooden pegs.
[01:30.98]She kissed him a dozen times or two
[01:33.34]
[01:36.85]"Now were you drunk or were you blind“
[01:38.85]When you left your two fine legs behind?
[01:42.41]Or was it walking upon the sea
[01:44.20]That wore your two fine legs away?"
[01:47.01]chorus
[01:47.85]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:52.38]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:57.76]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:02.90]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:09.29]
[02:11.67]"No, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind.“
[02:13.57]When I left my two fine legs behind.
[02:17.01]A cannon ball on the fifth of May.
[02:18.81]Tore my two fine legs away."
[02:22.40]"Oh, Teddy boby," the window cried.“
[02:24.12]"Your two fine legs were your mother's pride.“
[02:27.31]Stumps of a tree won't do at all.
[02:29.69]Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?"
[02:32.22]chorus
[02:34.26]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:38.15]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:43.34]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:48.98]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:54.77]
[03:27.02]"All foreign wars I do proclaim“
[03:29.26]Live on the blood and the mothers'pain.
[03:32.09]I'd rather have my son as he used to be
[03:34.53]Than the King of America and his whole navy."
[03:37.99]chorus
[03:39.83]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:45.61]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:50.87]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:56.24]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[04:01.61]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[04:06.82]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
