Smuggling the Tin

[Verse 1]
Young Cooney and Colley
And ould Martin Quinn
Well they made up together
To smuggle the tin

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay

[Verse 2]
They walked all the day boys
Till the heels they grew raw
Well they hadn't the comfort
Of lying in the straw

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay

[Verse 3]
I'll yoke her says Colley
I'm wise to her tricks
But the more that he yoked her
The more the mare kicked

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay

[Verse 4]
The hills they are high boys
Th' oul' mare she is thin
And my hеart lies a-trembling
For fear shе'll give in

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay

[Verse 5]
I once had a piebald
All covered in dots
And it's many the fiver
She's won in the trots

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay

[Verse 6]
Up came th' oul' sergeant
With a laugh and a grin
I'll have ye inside boys
For the smuggling of tin

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay

[Verse 7]
Up came th' oul' sergeant
With a laugh and a smile
I'll have ye inside boys
For smuggling a while

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay

[Verse 8]
Young Cooney stood up boys
To make the excuse
If you leave us all go sir
It's home we will scoot

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay

[Verse 9]
We crossed back the border
We blessed our ould face
To hell with the black North
We're in the Free-State

[Refrain]
With me right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-arinan
Right toorin-anay
