The Little Skillet Pot

Well did you ever make colcannon,

	G	Bm
made with	lovely pickled	cream

	D7
With the	greens & scallions mingled

	G	C
like a	pitcher in a	dream

	D
Did you	ever make a hole on top

	G	Bm
to	hold the meltin'	flake

	D7
Or the	creamy flavoured butter

	G	D
that our	mother's used to	make

Chorus

	D	G	C
Oh	you	did, so you	did

	Bm	Am
so did	he and so did	I

	D7
And the	more I think about it

	G	C
sure the	nearer I'm to	cry

	D
Oh	weren't them the happy days

	G	Bm
when	troubles we knew	not

	D7
And or	mother made colcannon

	G	D
in the	little skillet	pot

Well, did you ever take potatoe cake
and boxty to the school
Tucked underneath your oxter with
your books, your slate and rule
And when teacher wasn't looking'
sure a great big bite you'd take
Of the creamy flavoured soft and
meltin' sweet potatoe cake

Chorus

Well did you ever go a courtin' boys
when the evenin' sun went down
And the moon began a peepin'
from behind the Hill O' Down
And you wandered down the boreen
where the clúrachán was seen
And you whispered lovin' praises to
your own dear sweet cáilín
