[00:15.10]"Mrs. McGrath," the sergeant said,
[00:17.31]"Would you like to make a solider out of your son Ted?
[00:20.70]With a scarlet coat and a big cocked hat,
[00:22.87]And Mrs. McGrath, wouldn't you like that?"
[00:26.22]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[00:31.56]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[00:37.20]Now, Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore
[00:39.27]And after seven years or more
[00:42.52]She spied a ship come into the bay
[00:44.81]With her son from far away
[00:48.25]"Oh captain dear, where have you been?
[00:50.45]You've been sailing the Mediterranean.
[00:53.52]Have you news of my son Ted?
[00:55.77]Is he living or is he dead?"
[00:59.04]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:04.22]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:10.16]Up came Ted without any legs
[01:12.26]And in their place, two wooden pegs.
[01:15.39]She kissed him a dozen times or two
[01:17.99]And said, "My god, Ted is it you?"
[01:20.86]"Now were you drunk or were you blind
[01:22.99]When you left your two fine legs behind?
[01:26.07]Or was it walking upon the sea
[01:28.31]That wore your two fine legs away?"
[01:31.54]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:36.64]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:42.08]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:47.24]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[01:52.63]"No, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind
[01:54.77]When I left my two fine legs behind.
[01:57.87]A cannon ball on the fifth of May
[02:00.27]TOre my two fine legs away."
[02:03.18]"Oh, Teddy boby," the window cried.
[02:05.67]"Your two fine legs were your mother's pride.
[02:08.46]Stumps of a tree won't do at all.
[02:10.62]Why didn't you run from the cannon ball?"
[02:13.86]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:18.68]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:24.33]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:29.22]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[02:34.95]
[03:06.35]"All foreign wars I do proclaim
[03:08.78]Live on the blood and the mothers'pain.
[03:11.76]I'd rather have my son as he used to be,
[03:14.01]Than the King of America and his whole navy."
[03:17.32]
[03:19.00]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:24.67]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:29.79]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:34.87]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:40.14]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
[03:45.12]With your too-ri-a, fol-di-diddle-da, too-ri, oor-ri,oor-ri-a
