Navy Boots On Liam Clancy

[Verse 1]
I'm a bold Irish navvy who worked on the line
And the first place I worked was Newcastle-on-Tyne
But through a misfortune that happened in fun
I remember the night I'd me navvy boots on

[Verse 2]
When the day's work was over I shaved off me beard
To meet the young lady, I was well prepared
For to meet the young lady, I then hurried down
And I met her that night with me navvy boots on

[Verse 3]
When I knocked on her window, my knock it was low
When I knocked on her window, my knock she did know
She jumped out of bed crying, "Is that you John?"
"Well, it even it is, love, with me navvy boots on"

[Verse 4]
Then she opened the door and invited me in
"Come up to the fire, love, and warm your skin"
Well, her room door being open and the blankets turned down
I jumped into bed with me navvy boots on

[Verse 5]
It was all of that night we did sport and did play
Never thinking of time as it soon passed away
Then she leaped out of bed crying, "What have I done?
For the child will be born with his navvy boots on"
