The Craic Was Ninety In The Isle Of Man
Irish Music

Ah weren't we the rare oul' stock?

Spent the evening getting' locked

In the Ace O' Hearts

Where the high stools were engaging

Over the Butt Bridge down by the dock

The boat she sailed at five o' clock

Hurry on lads says Whack

Or before we're there we'll all be back

Sayin' carry him if you can

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man


Before we reached the Alexander Base

A ding dong we did surely raise

In the bar of the boat we had great sport

As the ship she sailed out from the port

Landed up in the Douglas Head

Enquiring for a vacant bed

To the dining room soon were shown by

A decent woman from up the road

Sayin' Ate that if you can

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man


Next morning went for a ramble round

To see the sights of Douglas Town

All went for a might session

In a pub they called Dick Darbies

All got drunk by half past three

To sober up went swimming in the sea

Then back to the digs for a spruce up

While waiting for the rosie

We all drew up our plan

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man


That night we went to the Texas Bar

Came back down by horse and car

Met Big Jim and all went in to drink some wine in Yates

The Liverpool girls it was said were all to be met

In the Douglas Head

McShane was there in a tie and shirt

And with the foreign girls he was trying to flirt

Sayin' Here girls I'm your man

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man


Whacker fancied his good looks

With an Isle of Man woman he was struck

But a Liverpool lad was by her side

And he throwin' the jar into her

Whacker thought he'd take a chance

He asked the quare one out to dance

Around the floor they stepped it out

To Whack it was no bother

Eveyrthing was goin' to plan

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man


Well the Isle of Man woman fancied Whack

But your man stood there till his mates came back

Whack! They all whacked into Whack

And Whack was landed on his back

The Douglas force arrived as well

Landed up in the Douglas jail

Until that Dublin boat did sail

Deported ever man

Oh the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
