Tied And Dried (an Irish Ditty) Lyrics - Tom Scullin

I met a girl last summer 

with beauty in her eyes 

and in this song we call life 

we seemed to harmonize 

And though I didn't know it 

my luck began to slide 

it was getting closer to the day 

when I'd be tied and dried 

We dated in the autumn 

I began to realize 

she looked at me with her love 

as someone to idolize 

And though I didn't know it 

my luck began to slide 

it was getting closer to the day 

when I'd be tied and dried 

The engagement came in winter 

her ring the smallest size 

she sent a gift everyday 

her love to symbolize 

And though I didn't know it 

my luck began to slide 

it was getting closer to the day 

when I'd be tied and dried 

We married in the springtime 

not a day to criticize 

the women all sang tied and dried 

and left the men to eulogize 

And though I didn't know it 

my luck had run to hide 

it wasn't nice to look upon 

a man that's tied and dried
