Morning Glory Lyrics

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.
