The Crack Was Ninety In The Isle Of Man The Dubliners

Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
Well weren't we the rare oul stock
Spent the evenin' gettin' locked
In the Ace O' Hearts where the high stools were
Engaging
Over the Butte Bridge, down by the dock
The boat she sailed at five o'clock
'Ah hurry on', said Whack
'Or before we're there we'll all be back
Carry him if you can'
Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man

Before we reached the Alexander Base
The ding dong we did surely raise
In the bar of the ship, had great sport
As the boat she sailed out of the port
Landed up in the Douglas Head
Enquiring for a vacant bed
The dining room we soon got shown
By a decent looking woman
Saying 'Lads ate up if you can. '
Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man

Next morning we went for a ramble round
Viewed the sights of Douglas Town
Ended up in a mighty session
In a pub they call dick Darby's
We all got drunk by half past three
To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea
Back to the digs for the spruce up
While waitin' for the Rosie, we all drew up our plan
Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
