Lyrics

Well did you ever make colcannon made with lovely pickle cream
With the greens and scallions mingled like a picture in a dream
Did you ever make a hole on top to hold the melting flake
Of the creamy flavoured butter that our mothers used to make
Oh you did, so you did, so did he and so did I
And the more I think about it sure the nearer I'm to cry
Oh weren't them the happy days when troubles we knew not
And our mothers made colcannon in the little skillet pot
Well did you ever take potato cake and boxty to the school
Tucked underneath your oxter with your books, your slate and rule
And when teacher wasn't looking sure a great big bite you'd take
Of the creamy flavoured soft and melting sweet potato cake
Oh you did, so you did, so did he and so did I
And the more I think about it sure the nearer I'm to cry
Oh weren't them the happy days when troubles we knew not
And our mothers made colcannon in the little skillet pot
Well did you ever go a-courting boys when the evening sun went down
And the moon began a-peeping from behind the hill a-down
And you wandered down the boreen where the clora con was seen
And you whispered love and praises to your own dear sweet colleen
Oh you did, so you did, so did he and so did I
And the more I think about it sure the nearer I'm to cry
Oh weren't them the happy days when troubles we knew not
And our mothers made colcannon in the little skillet pot
Oh you did, so you did, so did he and so did I
And the more I think about it sure the nearer I'm to cry
Oh weren't them the happy days when troubles we knew not
And our mothers made colcannon in the little skillet pot
