- My sister Ellen she is younger than I am.
She has got lovers plenty,
She is going to deny them,
And as for me sure I can not get any,
And God knows in heart I would be thankful for any.
Chorus
Tur-a-ling Tur-a-lar with my ring a laddie,
There is lines men, pins men, Brewers and bakers,
A fiddler or a fifer or the divel would not take her,
Rag men, Bag men foolish or witty,
Will you let me die a maid will you marry me for pity,
Tur-a-ling Tur-a-lar.These songs were composed by MIchael Fagan called Mickey Etty. He lived in Ballinaloe, Coole, Co West Meath.- Collector
