'Twas early, early, in the month of June
I was sitting with my glass and spoon.
A small bird sat on an ivy bunch
And the song he sang was a jug of punch.
CHO: Toor-a-loora-la, toor-a-loora-lie
Toor-a-loora-la, toor-a-loora-lie
(repeat last two lines of verse)
If I were sick, and very bad
And were not able to go or stand,
I would not think it at all amiss
To pledge my shoes for a jug of punch.
CHO:
What more diversion can a man desire
Than to sit him down by a snug turf fire,
Upon his knee a pretty wench
And upon his table a jug of punch.
CHO:
And when I'm dead and in my grave
No costly tombstone will I have,
I'll dig a grave both wide and deep
With a jug of punch at my head and feet.
The Clancy Brothers were an Irish folk group formed in 1961 and active until 1975, though they continued performing in various formations. Composed of three brothers: Liam, Tom, and Paddy Clancy, the group achieved great popularity in the United States during the 1960s. Their debut performance took place at the Newport Folk Festival in 1961, sharing the stage with Joan Baez. The Clancy Brothers are known for their energetic performances and harmonious vocals, characterized by a strong Irish accent.
