[Lyric] Brian OLynne (Dave Van Ronk)

Brian O'Lynne had no britches to wear
He bought him a sheepskin to make him a pair
With the skinny side out and the wolly side in
They'll be pleasant and cool, says Brian O'Lynne

Shonegga hanegga thamegga thu [ x3]
Baleshlecoghelee aushmedatheen

Brian O'Lynne and his mother and brother
They all rode over the bridge together
The bridge fell down and they all tumbled in
"We'll find ground at the bottom," says Brian O'Lynne

Shonegga hanegga thamegga thu [ x3]
Baleshlеcoghelee aushmedatheen

Brian O'Lynne wеnt a-courting one night
He said for the daughter and mother to fight
To fight over him they both stripped to the skin
"Well, I'll marry you both," says Brian O'Lynne
Shonegga hanegga thamegga thu [ x3]
Baleshlecoghelee aushmedatheen

Brian O'Lynne and his wife and wife's mother
They all jumped into the bed together
The sheets was out and the blankets was thin
"Well, I'll sleep in the middle," says Brian O'Lynne

Shonegga hanegga thamegga thu [ x3]
Baleshlecoghelee aushmedatheen
