lyrics
As I was going to the fair in Dingle one fine morning last July,
A fine young man come up behind me, "Red-haired Mary," he did cry.
"Will you come with me, my red-haired Mary, the donkey, he can carry two."
I looked at him, me eyes did twinkle, me cheeks they were a rosy hue.
"Thank you kindly, sir," I answered, then I tossed me light red hair,
Says I, "Will you hold the donkey and I'll ride with you to the Dingle fair."
Oh, when we reached the town of Dingle, he caught me hand to say good-bye,
A tinker came up behind him, hit him right in his left eye.
Saying, "Take your hands off red-haired Mary, she and I are to be wed,
We were with the priest this very morn, tonight we'll lie in our marriage bed."
Well, he was feeling very peevish, his poor eye was sad and sore,
He kicked the tinker with his hobnails, knocked him through Tom Murphy's door.
He galloped off to meet his father, the tallest man you e'er did see,
He tapped him gently with his knuckles and now he's missing two front teeth.
Oh wasn't I the happy cailin, "Man, with you I'll go," I said.
"Never mind the priest this very morn, tonight we'll sleep in Murphy's shed."
"Take your hands off red-haired Mary, she and I are to be wed
We were with the priest this very morn, tonight we'll lie in our marriage bed."
Around the corner came a peeler, told me that I broke the law
The donkey kicked him on the kneecap, he fell down and broke his jaw
Oh, through the fair we roamed together, his black eye and my red hair,
Gazing gaily at the tinker, weren't we the happy pair?
"Take your hands off red-haired Mary, she and I are to be wed,
We were with the priest this very morn, tonight we'll lie in our marriage bed."
"Will you take your hands off red-haired Mary, she and I are to be wed,
We were with the priest this very morn, tonight we'll lie in our marriage bed."

I feel like in some ways this is a culmination point to which a lot of Tim's work has been headed for a long time - this album is... I can't find sufficient adjectives. So, so great. And absolutely evergreen. I've given it close to 20 listens now in less than two weeks and I only love it more every time. PipingJim
