Mr. McGuire Sit Down by Buddy Wasisname And The Other Fellers Lyrics

My name it is McGuire and I’ll quickly tell to you
Of a pretty girl I admire named Katie Donahue
She’s fair and fat and forty and believe me when I say
Every time I go a courting you can hear her mother say:

Johnny get up from the fire, get up and give the man a seat!
Don’t you see he’s Mr. McGuire and he’s courting your sister Kate!
You know very well he owns a farm a little way out of town
Will you get up out of there and be taking the air, let Mr. Maguire sit down

The first time that we met she was the patron of Tralee
And I asked her very kindly if she dance a step with me
She wanted to know if I’d see her home to have a cup of tea
No sooner was I inside the door when I heard her mother say:

Johnny get up from the fire, get up and give the man a seat!
Don’t you see he’s Mr. McGuire and he’s courting your sister Kate!
You know very well he owns a farm a little way out of town
Will you get up out of there and be taking the air, let Mr. Maguire sit down

Johnny get up from the fire, get up and give the man a seat!
Don’t you see he’s Mr. McGuire and he’s courting your sister Kate!
You know very well he owns a farm a little way out of town
Will you get up out of there and be taking the air, let Mr. Maguire sit down
