Tell It To Sweeney 1910

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 18 Jul 2004

Now Mary Ann McCarty
was the pride of all the party
at the ball last night,
at the ball last night
She was looking fine
faith she was divine
Murphy said you're beautiful
I'd like you to be mine,
Now I'm in love with you,
and there is nothing I won't do
if you will marry me
marry me;
There's a house and lot,
anything I got
Give me your hand
then she whispered on the spot.

Go and tell it to Mister Sweeney
if you should see him anywhere,
be sure and tell it to Mister Sweeney;
now understand he'll be grand,
and he'll take you by the never mind
and hand you a little something
that you'll remember when you go
whisper low, whisper low
for I'd like to have you know
that Mister Sweeney's my beau.

Go and tell it to Mister Sweeney
if you should see him anywhere,
be sure and tell it to Mister Sweeney;
now understand he'll be grand,
and he'll take you by the never mind
and hand you a little something
that you'll remember when you go
whisper low, whisper low
for I'd like to have you know
that Mister Sweeney's my beau.

And when he called next day at four
he said I love you more and more
A Cushala dear
I feel so queer
I've got the diamond ring
arranged for everything
I've hired the great Caruso,
at the wedding he will sing,
now in an aeroplane
we'll ride from Dublin o'er to Maine
Oh, are you listening dear
Oh won't you hear,
some flowers I did buy
I have them here, have I
We'll keep them said she
for you'll need them bye and bye;

Go and tell it to Mister Sweeney
if you should see him anywhere,
be sure and tell it to Mister Sweeney;
now understand he'll be grand,
and he'll take you by the never mind
and hand you a little something
that you'll remember when you go
whisper low, whisper low
for I'd like to have you know
that Mister Sweeney's my beau.

Go and tell it to Mister Sweeney
if you should see him anywhere,
be sure and tell it to Mister Sweeney;
now understand he'll be grand,
and he'll take you by the never mind
and hand you a little something
that you'll remember when you go
whisper low, whisper low
for I'd like to have you know
that Mister Sweeney's my beau.
