Give Me a Sip

Give me a sip of your whiskey
So I may be merry
Sorrows for to bury
Give me a sip of your rum
Give me a sip of the craythur
So I may be merry
Diddle-y iddle-y I dee oh
Diddly I dee oh

Me uncle was a big drunkard
Shame of all of Galway
He'd be drinkin' all day
Havin' the time of his life
One day the people of Loughrea
Chased him into Mayo
Diddle-y iddle-y I dee oh
Diddly I dee oh

Me pa was gathering barley
To put in the barrel
Singin' me a carol
About when he would be done
Then when the brewing was done
He let me have a sip
Diddle-y iddle-y I dee oh
Diddly I dee oh

Give me a sip of your whiskey
So I may be merry
Sorrows for to bury
Give me a sip of your rum
Give me a sip of the craythur
So I may be merry
Diddle-y iddle-y I dee oh
Diddly I dee oh (One more time)

Give me a sip of your whiskey
So I may be merry
Sorrows for to bury
Give me a sip of your rum
Give me a sip of the craythur
So I may be merry
Diddle-y iddle-y I dee oh
Diddly I dee oh
