Quare Bungle Rye Lyrics - Singles - Clancy Brothers

Now Jack was a sailor who roamed on the town 

And she was a damsel who skipped up and down 

Said the damsel to Jack as she passed him by 

Would you care for to purchase some 

quare bungle rye roddy rye? 

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye 

Thought Jack to himself, "Now what can this be? 

But the finest of whiskey from far Germany 

Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly 

And the name that it goes by is 

quare bungle rye roddy rye? 

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye" 

Jack gave her a pound and he thought nothing strange 

Said she, "Hold the basket till I get you your change" 

Jack looked in the basket and a baby did spy 

Oh, Begorrah, said Jack, this is 

quare bungle rye roddy rye? 

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye 

Now to get the child christened was Jack's first intent 

For to get the child christened, to the parson he went 

Says the parson to Jack, "What will he go by?" 

Begorrah, says Jack, Call him 

quare bungle rye roddy rye? 

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye 

Said the parson to Jack, "That's a mighty queer name" 

Says Jack to the parson, "It's a queer way he came 

Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly 

And the name that he'll go by is 

quare bungle rye roddy rye? 

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye 

Now all you young sailors who roam on the town 

Beware of those damsels who skip up and down 

Take a look in their basket as they pass you by 

Or else they may sell you some 

quare bungle rye roddy rye? 

Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye
