Cushy Butterfield Lyrics by Connie Foley

Three Leaf Shamrock

0

[Verse 1]
I'm a broken-hearted coalman, beguiled from the start
'Be a young lass from Dublin an' she broke me heart
Her name's Cushy Butterfield, she sells fish on the quay
And if she ever gets married, I hope it's to me
[Chorus]
She's a big lass and a bonnie lass and she likes her beer
And they call her Cushy Butterfield and I wish she were here
[Verse 2]
Her eyes are like two holes in a blanket burnt through
She has two fine, big cheeks with a big rosy hue
And when I hear shoutin', "Buy fresh fish today"
Like the song of the nightingales, she steals me heart away
[Chorus]
She's a big lass and a bonnie lass and she likes her beer
And they call her Cushy Butterfield and I wish she were here
[Verse 3]
When I asked her to marry me, she started to smile
But when she saw I was serious, it soon changed her style
She started off blubberin' and tears came so fast
And the lads on the quay say the match couldn't last
[Chorus]
She's a big lass and a bonnie lass and she likes her beer
And they call her Cushy Butterfield and I wish she were here
[Verse 4]
Now, she says the man that marries her must work everyday
And at each Friday night, he must hand up his pay
And she'll feed him one mackerel, round bread and good stout
And she'll dress like a lady when he takes her out
[Chorus]
She's a big lass and a bonnie lass and she likes her beer
And they call her Cushy Butterfield and I wish she were here
