[00:00.000] Mrs. McGrath
[00:03.310] Sing by Bruce Springsteen
[00:06.340] From Album:
[00:15.100] "Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said,
[00:17.310] "Would you like to make a solider out of your son Ted?
[00:20.700] With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat,
[00:22.870] And Mrs. McGrath, wouldn't you like that?"
[00:26.220] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[00:31.560] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[00:37.200] Now, Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore
[00:39.270] And after seven years or more
[00:42.520] She spied a ship come into the bay
[00:44.810] With her son from far away
[00:48.250] "Oh captain dear, where have you been?
[00:50.450] You've been sailing the Mediterranean.
[00:53.520] Have you news of my son Ted?
[00:55.770] Is he living or is he dead?"
[00:59.040] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:04.220] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:10.160] Up came Ted without any legs
[01:12.260] And in their place, two wooden pegs.
[01:15.390] She kissed him a dozen times or two
[01:17.990] And said, "My god, Ted is it you?"
[01:20.860] "Now were you drunk or were you blind
[01:22.990] When you left your two fine legs behind?
[01:26.070] Or was it walking upon the sea
[01:28.310] That wore your two fine legs away?"
[01:31.540] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:36.640] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:42.080] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:47.240] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:52.630] "No, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
[01:54.770] When I left my two fine legs behind.
[01:57.870] A cannon ball on the fifth of May
[02:00.270] TOre my two fine legs away."
[02:03.180] "Oh, Teddy boby," the window cried.
[02:05.670] "Your two fine legs were your mother's pride.
[02:08.460] Stumps of a tree won't do at all.
[02:10.620] Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?"
[02:13.860] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:18.680] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:24.330] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:29.220] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:06.350] "All foreign wars I do proclaim
[03:08.780] Live on the blood and the mothers'pain.
[03:11.760] I'd rather have my son as he used to be,
[03:14.010] Than the King of America and his whole navy."
[03:19.000] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:24.670] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:29.790] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:34.870] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:40.140] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:45.120] With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
