Uncle Dan Lyrics - So Far So Good: Best Of The Irish Descendants - The Irish Descendants

TRADITIONAL 

NOW THE WIDOW LIVED BY THE STRAND 

FOR FORTY YEARS WITHOUT A MAN 

SHE DANCED AROUND AND SHE WAVED HER FAN 

AND SET HER EYES ON ME UNCLE DAN 

CHORUS: 

SHE CAN DANCE TO THE FLUTE,DANCE TOTHE FIDDLE 

SHE'S AS NEAT AROUND THE WAIST AS A COW AROUND THE MIDDLE 

LET HER GO LET HER GO, YOU'LL FIND ANOTHER 

THERE'S A LOT OF PRETTY WOMEN AT THE HEAD OF GRAND RIVER 

NOW HE WOULD NOT LISTEN TO MY ADVICE 

SO HE MARRIED HERE THERE ON A WINTRY NIGHT 

SHE ATE ALL THE GRUB AT THE PARTY FAIR 

AND DRANK EVERY MAN CLEAN UNDER HIS CHAIR 

CHORUS 

NOW WHEN HE GOT HOME ON HIS WEDDING NIGHT 

ME UNCLE DAN GOT A HELL OF A FRIGHT 

SHE HUNG ONE LEG UPON THE WALL 

DOWN ON HTE FLOOR HER TEETH DID FALL 

ONE GLASS EYE, OFF CAME HER HAIR 

AND DOWN THE ROAD ME UNCLE DAN DID TEAR 

CHORUS 

NOW THEY CLAIM HE RAN TO FRANCE OR SPAIN 

AND HE SENT A LETTER HOME TO HER SAYING 

DARLING IF YOU EVER NEED ANOTHER MAN 

YOU CAN COUNT ME OUT,"LOVE UNCLE DAN" 

CHORUS
