Their mother was dead. They were the apples of his eye, and he was the apple of their eye. And they always looked after him as a daughter should look after a father. And one night he came home, feeling awful bad. And the daughters put their three heads together and said, &#8220;Daddy doesn&#8217;t feel well today. What are we going to do with him?&#8221; So the decided the best thing to do, to make him a glass of punch, and put him into bed. So they got the biggest glass they could find in the house, and they filled up to there with rum. A spoon of sugar, and a spoon of boiling water, and they topped it off with &mdash; rum. And they gave it to him in the bed. And the following morning he was jumping on the top of the stair. And the oldest daughter came up to him and said, &#8216;Did the rum do?&#8217; &#8211; that means, did the rum do the job? Did the rum do. And the second daughter came up and she said, &#8216;Did the rum do, Da?&#8217; And the youngest girl came up and she said, &#8216;Did the rum do, Daddy?&#8217; And he started tapping his feet, like that:<\/p>\n<p>Ditherum-doo, ditherum-doo, ditherum-doo-dah-dee<br \/>\nDitherum-doo, ditherum-doo, ditherum-doo-dah-dee<br \/>\netc&hellip;<\/p>\n<p>What will you when the kettle boils over?<br \/>\nWhat will you but fill it again?<br \/>\nWhat will you when you marry a soldier?<br \/>\nWhat would you do but follow his gun?<br \/>\nWhat will you do when he dies on the ocean?<br \/>\nWhat will you do but marry again?<br \/>\nWhat will you do when the cow eats the clover?<br \/>\nWhat would you do but set it again?<\/p>\n<p>[lilting]<\/p>\n<p><i class=\"cor-cainte-teangan-eile\">D&#8217;imigh an sioc<\/i><sup class=\"tagairt-n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">1<\/sup> and the frost is all over<br \/>\nKitty move over, lie next to the wall!<\/p>\n<p>[lilting]<\/p>\n<p>God bless you again, and good night!<\/p>\n<div class=\"n\u00f3ta\u00ed-bun-leathanaigh\">\n<h2 id=\"t:notai\">Notes<\/h2>\n<p class=\"n\u00f3ta-bun-leathanaigh\">1. &#8216;The frost went&#8217;; that is, &#8216;the frost is gone&#8217;. This couplet has nothing to do with &#8216;what will you do&hellip;?&#8217; but everything to do with the jig-tune to which it is sung.<\/p>\n<p>This is an excellent performance of a standard item from Joe&#8217;s concert repertoire. On many occasions, he added the remark that the story explained how tunes were often composed. As here, he often used it to end a programme.<\/p>\n<p>The jigs lilted are The Dingle Regatta and The Frost Is All Over.<\/p>\n<p>We are grateful to Warren Fahey, who promoted and recorded the concert from which this entry was taken, for allowing us to use this recording.<br \/>\nThe concert can be heard in its entirety on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.warrenfahey.com\/\">Warren&#8217;s website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"templates\/template-full-width.php","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12,6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1182","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-amhrain","category-amhrain-i-mbearla","category-portaireacht"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1182","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1182"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1182\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1188,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1182\/revisions\/1188"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1182"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1182"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.joeheaney.org\/ga\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1182"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
