My Son John - Gaelic Storm (Lyrics)

Another Irish folk song, from Gaelic Storm's album The Boathouse (2013) Lyrics: My son John was tall and slim He had a leg for every limb Now he's got no legs at all For they're both shot away with a cannonball With me too rie ah, oh diddle dah Whack for the diddle diddle die dum day Well, were you drunk or were you blind To leave your two find legs behind Or was it walking upon the sea That took your legs from the ground to the knee With me too rie ah, oh diddle dah Whack for the diddle diddle die dum day Well, I wasn't drunk and I wasn't blind To leave my two fine legs behind Was a cannonball on the 5th of May That took my two fine legs away With me too rie ah, oh diddle dah Whack for the diddle diddle die dum day And all the foreign wars I'll now denounce Twixt the king of England or the king of France I'd rather my legs where they used to be Than the king of Spain and his whole navy With me too rie ah, oh diddle dah Whack for the diddle diddle die dum day For I was tall and I was slim I had a leg for every limb Now I've got no legs at all And you can't win a race with a cannonball With me too rie ah, oh diddle dah Whack for the diddle diddle die dum day For I was tall and I was slim I had a leg for every limb Note: I do not own this song and all credit goes to Gaelic Storm and their label Lost Again Records, and if i am not allowed to keep the video up, i will remove it.
