The Mary Wallopers - Frost Is All Over

 


Oh, what would you do if your kettle boiled over?

What would I do well I'd fill it again

What would you do if the cow ate a clover?

What would I do well I'd set it again.

The prices are up and the herrings are roasted

Kitty lie over close to the wall

You to be drunk and me to be sober

Kitty lie over close to the wall.


Oh, what would you do if you married a solider?

What would I do well I'd follow his gun

What would you do if he died in the ocean?

What would I do well I'd marry again

The prices are up and the herrings arе roasted

Kitty lie over closе to the wall

How would you like to marry a solider?

Kitty lie over close to the wall.


The prices are up and the herrings are roasted

(Kitty lie over close to the wall)

How would you like to marry a solider?

(Kitty lie over close to the wall)

The prices are up and the herrings are roasted

(Kitty lie over close to the wall)

How would you like to marry a solider?

Kitty lie over close to the wall.


Oh, what would you do if you married a landlord?

What would I do well you'd laugh for the fun

What would you do if he threat an eviction?

What would I do well I'd give him the gun

The prices are up and the herrings are roasted

Kitty lie over close to the wall

You to be drunk and me to be sober

Kitty lie over close to the wall.


      Invoking the sound of the Dubliners and the Pogues with a touch of the Dead Kennedys is the Irish folk group The Mary Wallopers. As a three-piece ballad group, they travelled Ireland singing and collecting songs. Frost Is All Over is their first single from their debut album, coming this autumn, and is a traditional Irish song about taking everything in your stride and not caring about what everyone says you should care about.
