my love and I sat down

And I took out my fiddle,

for to play my love a tune

In the middle of the tune

she sighed and she said

''Oh, Johnny, lovely Johnny,

why'd you leave me?''

Oh, when I was a young man,

I heard my father say

That he'd rather see me dead

and buried in the clay

Sooner than be married to any runaway

On the lovely sweet banks of the roses

On the banks of the roses,

my love and I sat down

And I took out my fiddle,

for to play my love a tune

In the middle of the tune

she sighed and she said

''Oh, Johnny, lovely Johnny,

why'd you leave me?''

''Oh, Lord, l vow never more to offend thee...

''and carefully

to avoid the occasions of sin.''

...and the meadows they are gay

And me and my true love

will sit and sport and play

On the lovely sweet banks of the roses

On the banks of the roses,

my love and I sat down

And I took out my fiddle,

for to play my love a tune

In the middle of the tune

-Look who's back.

-Straight from Chicago.

How's my favorite lrish colleen?

-l'm well. How are you?

-l'm great.

Who's your man in the sharp suit,

over there?

How should l know?

He looks like a Yank.

Maybe he's a friend of hers.

Maybe he's a chemist.

lf l can regain your attention for a moment...

we'll have requests.

Apart from Nobody's Child.

We're not fond of that now.

-Boys of Wexford.

-Whistling Gypsies.

-Are you still not talking to Grandma?

-No, l'll never speak to that woman.

She blames your father for everything.

May she rot in Hell, the old witch.

Jesus says we should forgive

those who trespassed against us.

lt's in the ''Our Father.''

-Grandma, would you like a fruit gum?

-Thanks, love.

Granddad gave them to me.

l won't bother then, love.

Listen, love,

there is something you must tell him.

lt's really warm.

...stuff it, will you?

Good girl.

Grandma's got a letter from Sydney.

Sidney, who?

Sydney in Australia.

-Australia?

-lt's from Mommy, she's in Australia.

She didn't give her address,

but it said Sydney on the postmark thing.

l might have guessed.

She always had the wanderlust,

your mother.

-Grandma said it's hot in Australia.

-lt is.

You can tell her it's not as hot

as the place where her daughter will end up.

Okay.

-That's it.

-Still no carriages, Dad.

No, son.

Still no carriages.

''Dear Daddy, it's great news that you have

such a good job, doing up that old house.

''I miss you and the boys

and Granddad very much...

''and I hope we can get back together soon.

''What did Granddad mean

when he told me to tell Grandma Daisley...

''that he hopes Mommy

meets a great white in Australia?

''I think it's a kangaroo,

but Mary thinks it's a koala bear.

''I like most of the nuns here.
