Reilly's Daughter Lyrics

Folk Music of Ireland

As I was sitting by the fire,
Talking to old Reilly's daughter
Suddenly a thought came into my head:
I'd like to marry old Reilly's daughter,

Chorus
Giddy I Ay, Giddy I Ay, Giddy I Ay
For the one eyed Reilly,
Giddy I Ay, (bang, bang, bang)
Play it on your big brass drum.

For Reilly played on the big brass drum
Reilly had a mind for murder and slaughter,
Reilly had a bright red gilttering eye,
And he kept an eye on his lovely daughter.

Chorus

Her hair was black and her eyes were blue
The colonel and the major and the captain sought her
The sergeant and the private and the drummer boy, too
But they never had a chance with O'Reilly's daughter.

Chorus
