A Jar Of Porter Songtext / Lyric

A Jar Of Porter

Toora loora loorala
Toora loora loorala
Toora loora loorala
Give the child a jar of porter

If you want your child to grow
Your child to grow, your child to grow
If you want your child to grow
Give him a jar of porter

When I was young and cradle cake
No drop of milk now would I take
Me father up and had his spake
'Give the child a drop of porter'

When I am dead and in my grave
I hope for me a prayer you'll say
And if you're passing by that you'll
Throw in a jar of porter

And when I reach the golden gates
I hope I'll not have long to wait
I'll call Saint Peter aside and say:
'Brought you a jar of porter'
