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 bu*ter
That our mother's used to make
Chorus
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 sk**et 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 cl
And you whispered lovin' praises to
Your own dear sweet c
Chorus
