The Town Pants - O'reilly's Daughter lyrics
As I was sitting by the fire
 Talking to O'Reilly's daughter
 Suddenly a thought came into my head
 I'd like to marry O'Reilly's daughter.
 Chorus:
 Giddy i-ae, Giddy i-ae, Giddy i-ae for the one-eyed Reilly
 Giddy i-ae (bang bang bang) Play it on your old 
 Big drum
 Reilly played on the big bass drum
 Reilly had a mind for murder and slaughter
 Reilly had a bright red glittering eye
 And he kept that eye on his lovely daughter
 (Chorus)
 Her hair was black and her eyes were blue
 The colonel and the major and the captain sought her
 The sergeant and the private and the drummer boy too
 But they never had a chance with Reilly's daughter.The Town Pants - O'reilly's Daughter - http://motolyrics.com/the-town-pants/oreillys-daughter-lyrics.html
 (Chorus)
 I got me a ring and a parson too
 Got me a scratch in a married quarter
 Settled me down to a peaceful life
 Happy as a king with Reilly's daughter
 (Chorus)
 Suddenly a footstep on the stairs
 Who should it be but Reilly out for slaughter
 With two pistols in his hands
 Looking for the man who had married his daughter
 (Chorus)
 I caught O'Reilly by the hair
 Rammed his head in a pail of water
 Fired his pistols into the air
 A damned sight quicker than I married his daughter
 (Chorus)
