WLW: The Lasses of Clover Lane This Irish Drinking Song is about two women, Molly and Brigid, who are living together on Clover Lane. All the men, young and old, try their luck with them, but to no avail. They only love each other. This is one of my favorite songs so far.

Lyrics: The Lasses of Clover Lane

Down by the docks where the wild winds blow, Lived two fine lasses all the lads did know, With a wink and a grin they’d stop ye dead— Half the town’d lose what little sense they had! Oh Molly’d laugh and the whole pub’d shake, And Brigid’s smile was a man’s mistake, From drunk young fools to the old men too— They’d swear on their lives they’d win one or two! Oh the lasses of Clover Lane, saints preserve us all! Every poor lad tried and took the fall, So raise up yer pint and curse yer pain— They’re mad for each other on Clover Lane! Now Paddy fell over just askin’ one out, And Seamus got slapped ‘til he spun about, Young Connor brought flowers and a bottle of red— They drank it themselves and laughed at his head! For arm in arm by the fire they’d stay, Smilin’ at fools who’d be led astray, “No chance, ye eejits!” they’d shout with glee— “We’ve all that we want, just her and me!” Oh the lasses of Clover Lane, saints preserve us all! Every poor lad tried and took the fall, So raise up yer pint and curse yer pain— They’re mad for each other on Clover Lane! So here’s to the bold and the stubborn and mad, To lovin’ so fierce it drives men bad, Let the fiddles scream and the whole town roar— They’ve no need for any man at all! Oh the lasses of Clover Lane, loud and proud they stand! Breakin’ every heart in the land, So drink till ye’re blind, boys, shout it again— No man stands a chance on Clover Lane!
