Wade Hemsworth – Aidal O’Boy Lyrics
Artist: Wade Hemsworth
Song: Aidal O’Boy
One day in summer when daylight was fading
Way down by the river, I wandered alone
I met an old man who was weepin’ and wailin’
And rocking a cradle that was not his own
Singing, “Aidal o’boy, sweet baby lie easy
Your own daddy will never be known
Oh it’s weeping and wailing and rocking a cradle
For somebody’s baby that is not your own”
When first I married your innocent mother
I thought like a fool I was blessed with a wife
But to my misfortune and sad lamentation
She proved both a curse and a plague to my life
Singing, “Aidal O’boy, sweet baby lie easy
Your own daddy will never be known
Oh it’s weeping and wailing and rocking a cradle
For somebody’s baby that is not your own”
‘Twas every night to a ball or a party
She left me there rocking the cradle alone
An innocent baby who calls me his daddy
And little he knows that I am not his own
Singing, “Aidal O’boy, sweet baby lie easy
Your own daddy will never be known
Oh it’s weeping and wailing and rocking a cradle
For somebody’s baby that is not your own”
Now all you young fellows who someday may marry
Take my advice and leave women alone
For by the Lord Harry, if ever you marry
They’ll bring you a baby and swear it’s your own
Singing, “Aidal O’boy, sweet baby lie easy
Your own daddy will never be known
Oh it’s weeping and wailing and rocking a cradle
For somebody’s baby that is not your own”
