Quare Bungle Rye by The Blarney Lads Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, Jack was a sailor that roamed on the town
And he met with this damsel that skipped up and down
Said the damsel to Jack, as she passed him by
"Would you care for to purchase some Quare Bungle Rye Raddy Rye?"

[Refrain]
Fa-lee-diddle-die, raddy rye, raddy rye

[Verse 2]
Said Jack to himself, "Now what can this be
But the finest of whiskey from far Germany?"
Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly
And the name that it goes by is Quare Bungle Rye Raddy Rye

[Refrain]
Fa-lee-diddle-die, raddy rye, raddy rye

[Verse 3]
Well, he gave her a pound, and he thought nothin' strange
She said, "Hold now me basket, while I run for your change
He took a look in the basket, a child he did spy
"I'll be damned", says Jack, "this is Quare Bungle Rye Raddy Rye"
[Refrain]
Fa-lee-diddle-die, raddy rye, raddy rye

[Verse 4]
Well, to get the child Christened was Jack's next intent
To get the child Christened, to the Parson he went
Said the Parson to Jack, "What will he go by?"
"I'll be damned", says Jack, "call him Quare Bungle Rye Raddy Rye"

[Refrain]
Fa-lee-diddle-die, raddy rye, raddy rye

[Verse 5]
Said the Parson to Jack, "That's a very quare name"
"I'll be damned", says Jack, "twas a quare way he came"
Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly
And the name that he'll go by is Quare Bungle Rye Raddy Rye

[Refrain]
Fa-lee-diddle-die, raddy rye, raddy rye

[Verse 6]
Well, come all you sailors that roam on the town
Beware of them damsels that skips up and down
Beware of them ladies as you pass them by
Or else they might flout you some Quare Bungle Rye Raddy Rye
[Outro]
Fa-lee-diddle-die, raddy, fa-lee-diddle-die, raddy
Fa-lee-diddle-die, raddy rye, raddy rye
