Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, what would you do if your kettle boiled over?
What would I do? Well, I'd fill it again
What would you do with the cow in the clover?
What would I do? Well, I'd set it again
The praties are dug and the herrings are roasting
Kitty, lie over close by the wall
You to be drunk and me to be sober
Kitty, lie over close to the wall
[Verse 2]
Oh, what would you do if you married a solider?
What would I do? Well, I'd follow his gun
What would you do if he died in the ocean?
What would I do? Well, I'd marry again
The praties are dug and the herrings are roasting
Kitty, lie over close by the wall
How would you like me to marry a solider?
Kitty, lie over close to the wall
[Verse 3]
The praties are dug and the herrings are roasting (Kitty, lie over close to the wall)
How would you like me to marry a solider? (Kitty, lie over close to the wall)
The praties are dug and the herrings are roasting (Kitty, lie over close to the wall)
How would you like me to marry a solider? (Kitty, lie over close to the wall)
[Verse 4]
Oh, what would you do if you married a landlord?
What would I do? I'd do that for the fun
What would you do if he threatened eviction?
Would would I do? Well, I'd give him the gun
The praties are dug and the herrings are roasting
Kitty, lie over close by the wall
You to be drunk and me to be sober
Kitty, lie over close to the wall
