Morning Glory

At the end of the day,

i like a little drink

to raise up me voice and sing

and an hour or two with a fine,

brown brew and i'm ready for anything

at the cross keys inn

there were sisters four,

the landlord's daughters fair

and every night when

they'd turn out the light

i would tiptoe up the stair... singin'

Chorus:

one for the morning glory,

two for the early dew

three for the man who will stand his round

and four for the love of you, me girl,

four for the love of you

I got the call from a foreign shore

to go and fight the foe

and i thought no more

of the sisters four,

but still i was sad to go

i sailed away on a ship,

the morning glory was her name

and we'd all fall down

when the rum went 'round,

then get up and start again

Chorus

I bore once more for

my native shore,

farewell to the raging seas

and the cross keys inn,

it was beckonin',

and me heart was filled with glee

for there on the shore

were the sisters four

with a bundle upon each knee

there were three little girls

and a bouncing boy,

and they all looked just like me...

Chorus
