Tim Casey had a snip for me - a racing snip I mean A moral, real, dead certainty ran in the two-fifteen 'Put on a bob,' says he to me, says I to him says I 'Perhaps you'll put it on for me?' Says he, 'I will, me b'y.' The horse it won at ten to one, but my pride had a fall He never put my shilling on at all, at all, at all Chorus: Has anybody here seen Casey? He's done me for a bob -I give you warning, I've been searching down the street And when me and Casey meet There'll be another angel in the morning. As soon as iver I heard it won, I rushed off to me wife Says I, 'I've backed a winner for the first time in my life Ten bob' says I 'Ten bob,' says she. Says I, 'I'll take yez out I'll take ye to the the-ay-ter, and buy ye welks and stout.' She nearly had a fit when Casey's villainy she heard 'But never mind,' says she to me 'I'll hold ye to your word.' Chorus: I felt so aggravated that I kept off of my job A-looking for that Casey, jest to ask for my ten bob He spent my shilling, do ye moind, in whiskey at The Crown I told the scamp to put it on - bedad! he put it down I've lost a week's good work, I have, most like shall get the sack But if I lose a month, bedad! I'll have that shilling back. Chorus: |
