Colcannon Lyrics - Mary Black

Well did you ever make colcannon, 

Made with lovely pickled cream 

With the greens & scallions mingled 

Like a pitcher in a dream 

Did you ever make a hole on top 

To hold the meltin' flake 

Or the creamy flavoured butter 

That our mother's used to make

Oh you did, so you did 

So did he and so did i 

And the more I think about it 

Sure the nearer I'm to cry 

Oh weren't them the happy days 

When troubles we knew not 

And or mother made colcannon 

In the little skillet pot 

Well, did you ever take potatoe cake 

And boxty to the school 

Tucked underneath your oxter with 

Your books, your slate and rule 

And when teacher wasn't looking' 

Sure a great big bite you'd take 

Of the creamy flavoured soft and meltin' 

Sweet potatoe cake

Chorus 

Well did you ever go a courtin' boys 

When the evenin' sun went down 

And the moon began a peepin' 

From behind the hill o' down 

And you wandered down the boreen 

Where the clúrachán was seen 

And you whispered lovin' praises to 

Your own dear sweet cáilín 

Chorus
