[Verse 1]
Dm
It’s all for the love of a fair young maid
That in Cabra West did reside
Myself I lived up in Donnybrook
It’s a one and five penny ride.
But there was a fly in the ointment now
That you very seldom see
For although I loved her terrible well
She was in love with a Portugee.
[Verse 2]
Dm
Now he was a nasty piece of goods
Gonzales was his name
And he couldn’t wait to get his hands
On Concepta, who was my dame.
So I made a vow by the Grand Canal
That I would do him in
For I did not like them Portugees
And in particular I didn’t like him.
[Verse 3]
Dm
So I followed them up to Grafton Street
One evening just for fun
Around by the ‘Mercers’ hospital
That’s next door to the Bartley Dunne’s.
I espied them sitting in the corner seat
They were kissing and holding hands
And there he was seducing her
With pints of ‘Baby Cham.’
[Verse 4]
Dm
Then I followed him up to his lodgings
In Rathgar or thereabouts
And as he walked up the alleyway
Sure I battered him inside and out.
He gave out many an oath and swear
Till he was dead I’m sure
Then I lifted up the manhole lid
And I dropped him down the sewer.
[Verse 5]
Dm
Now when the ‘Mott’ she heard of this
She made my life a hell
And all for the sake of peace and quiet
Sure I did her in as well.
And now I’m up before the Judge
To answer for my crime
He says: “I didn’t mind the first one, son
But not the second time.”
[Verse 6]
Dm
So it’s all for the love of that fair young maid
And her Portuguese sailor boy
For the passionate love of that fair young maid
I’ve landed in Mountjoy.
And if I ever get out again
My life I’ll change you see
And I’ll marry with a ‘Mott’ from Walkinstown
Who wouldn’t look at a Portugee.
