At the end of the day I like a little drink To raise up me voice and sing And an hour or two with a fine, brown brew And I'm ready for anything At the Cross Keys Inn there was sisters four The landlord's daughters fair And every night when they put out the light I would tiptoe up the stairs
Singing "One for the Morning Glory, Two for the early dew, Three for the man who can stand his ground And four for the love of you, m'girl Four for the love of you.
When I got the call from a foreign shore To go and fight the foe And I thought no more of the sisters four But still I was sad to go So I sailed away on a ship, The Morning Glory was her name And we'd all fall down when the rum went 'round And we'd get up and start again
Singing "One for the Morning Glory, Two for the early dew, Three for the man who can stand his ground And four for the love of you, m'girl Four for the love of you.
When I for once more to my native shore Farewell to the raging sea And the Cross Keys Inn it was beckoning And me heart was full of glee But there on the shore was the sisters four With a bundle upon each knee There were three little girls and a bouncing boy And they all looked just like me
Singing "One for the Morning Glory, Two for the early dew, Three for the man who can stand his ground And four for the love of you, m'girl Four for the love of you.
Singing "One for the Morning Glory, Two for the early dew, Three for the man who can stand his ground And four for the love of you, m'girl Four for the love of you.
