Doll in Cash's Window

(Pat Daly, FreeState Music)

I’ll take Johnny, I’ll take him up the dyke
I’ll take Johnny walking and I’ll dress him in blue and white

Chorus
He was the doll with the dee-doll dearo
He was the boy with the curly hair
He was the doll in Cash’s Window
No bad eye on my Johnny

Your Daddy he’s a sailor you’re the apple of his eye
I’ll sew a suit like Daddy’s as blue as the summer sky

Chorus

I met with Kitty Maloney in the Coal Quay yesterday
She said you were me daza with eyes like Hadji Bey

Chorus

Hup san áirde Johnny, léim suas go dtí an ré
Gheoir-se cailín giobalach agus teir-se ‘damhsa lei

Chorus

When your Da comes from Sailing, he’ll bring you a féirín
A ship rigged in a bottle, just for his own Johneen

Chorus
