Song lyrics to The Irish Washerwoman – traditional Irish song, danced by Bob Hope in The Seven Little Foys

When I was at home I was merry and frisky,
My dad kept a pig and my mother sold whisky,
My uncle was rich, but never would by aisey
Till I was enlisted by Corporal Casey.

My dear little Shelah, I thought would run crazy,
When I trudged away with tough Corporal Casey.
