And the poor auld ma, she hasn't got a penny
She hasn't got a penny and she's gettin' the kids ready
The poor auld ma, she's gettin' the kids ready
She hasn't got a penny to her name
And it's oh so lonely oh
He's left us on our own-ee-oh
Down the black and amber
Treatin' strangers like-a they're kings
Oh so lonely oh
He's left us on our own-ee-oh
Sittin' in the evening
Wonderin' what the day will bring
The da out there, he's sinkin' one of many
He's sinkin' one of many, he's shoutin', "Up Kilkenny"
And the da out there, he's drinkin' pints of plain
And smokin' twenty major wi' the change
It's oh so lonely oh
He's left us on our own-ee-oh
Down the black and amber
Treatin' strangers like-a they're kings
Oh so lonely oh
He's left us on our own-ee-oh
Sittin' in the evening
Wonderin' what the day will bring
The pour auld ma, she's workin' night and mornin'
She's workin' night and mornin' and she can't afford the yawnin'
The pour auld ma, she's workin' night and mornin'
She hasn't got a washer to her name
Oh so lonely oh
He's left us on our own-ee-oh
Down the black and amber
Treatin' strangers like they're kings
Oh so lonely oh
He's left us on our own-ee-oh
Sittin' in the evening
Wonderin' what the day will bring
He comes home senseless, we know we're gonna suffer
We know we're gonna suffer, yeah we know that we will suffer
When he comes home senseless after a fish supper
He hasn't got a title to his name
Oh so lonely oh
He's left us on our own-ee-oh
Down the black and amber
Down the black and amber
