American Old Time Song Lyrics: 11 Molly, Put The Kettle On
Theater, Music-Hall, Nostalgic, Irish & Historic Old Songs, Volume 11
MOLLY, PUT THE KETTLE ON.
Molly, put the kettle on; why don't you put the kettle on?
Molly, put the kettle on, we'll all take tea.
Sukey, take it off again; why don't you take it off again?
Sukey, take it off again, for they are all gone away.
Now put down the ginger-cake, now put down the ginger-cake,
Stir the fire and let it bake, and we'll all take tea;
Put the muffins down to roast, put the muffins down to roast,
Blow the fire and make the toast, and we'll all take tea.
Dolly, set the table out, Dolly, set the table out,
Move the dishes all about, and we'll all take tea;
Pass around the pumpkin-pie, pass around the pumpkin-pie,
And the fritters made of rye, and we'll all take tea.
