Irish Jaunting Car Lyrics by Derek Warfield & the Young Wolfe Tones

Last Man Standing

2018

[Verse 1]
Come all ye decent travelers, have I a tale for you
It's of an outside jaunting car, it's painted green and blue
It belongs to Larry Doolan, and you'll have to travel far
To find a better driver of an Irish jaunting car!
[Chorus]
So if you want to hire me, step up to Mickey Mar
And ask for Larry Doolan and his Irish jaunting car
With me whip and pipe and pony, I'll take you near and far
To fairs, feasts, and festivals in me Irish jaunting car
[Verse 2]
Me name is Larry Doolan, I'm a native of the soil
If you want a day's diversion now I'll drive you there in style
Me car is painted blue and green and on the door a star
The pridе of Dublin city is me Irish jaunting car
[Chorus]
So if you want to hire me, stеp up to Mickey Mar
And ask for Larry Doolan and his Irish jaunting car
With me whip and pipe and pony, I'll take you near and far
To fairs, feasts, and festivals in me Irish jaunting car
[Verse 3]
I'm hired by men who like a drop, teetotallers, and me friends
A carman has so much to do his duty never ends
Day and night or wet or dry I travel near and far
At night I count me earnings of me Irish jaunting car
[Chorus]
So if you want to hire me, step up to Mickey Mar
And ask for Larry Doolan and his Irish jaunting car
With me whip and pipe and pony, I'll take you near and far
To fairs, feasts, and festivals in me Irish jaunting car
[Verse 4]
If you want to see Howth, Dublin, you'll find me on The Stand
I'll take you to Raheny, to the Cockles and The Strand
I take you out to Sandy Mt., the hill of holt, the view
[or to Kildaff to see the spot of fame by baru ?]
[Chorus]
So if you want to hire me, step up to Mickey Mar
And ask for Larry Doolan and his Irish jaunting car
With me whip and pipe and pony, I'll take you near and far
To fairs, feasts, and festivals in me Irish jaunting car
[Verse 5]
You can see the sights of Dublin, I'll take you to the zoo
To see the lions and tigers and the bears and monkeys too
To the Phoenix park and Nancy Hands, the monument, and then
I'll take you to the strawberry beds and back to town again
[Chorus]
So if you want to hire me, step up to Mickey Mar
And ask for Larry Doolan and his Irish jaunting car
With me whip and pipe and pony, I'll take you near and far
To fairs, feasts, and festivals in me Irish jaunting car
[Verse 6]
Well if me car could speak, sir, a moral 'twould disclose
I've carried Twigs and Tories, now Repealers and their foes
It looks so well obligin' all it keeps me bit afar
For my name is Larry Doolan and I love me jaunting car!
[Chorus]
So if you want to hire me, step up to Mickey Mar
And ask for Larry Doolan and his Irish jaunting car
With me whip and pipe and pony, I'll take you near and far
To fairs, feasts, and festivals in me Irish jaunting car
[Chorus]
So if you want to hire me, step up to Mickey Mar
And ask for Larry Doolan and his Irish jaunting car
With me whip and pipe and pony, I'll take you near and far
To fairs, feasts, and festivals in me Irish jaunting car
With me whip and pipe and pony, I'll take you near and far
To fairs, feasts, and festivals in me Irish jaunting car
