Twankidillo Lyrics

Here's a health to the jolly blacksmith

The best of all fellows

He works at his anvil

While the boy blows the bellows

Which makes his bright hammer

To rise and to fall

Here's to old coal, and to young coal

And to no coal at all

Twanky dillo, twanky dillo

Twanky dillo, dillo, dillo, dillo

And a roaring pair of bagpipes

Made from the green willow

If a gentleman comes

His horse for to shoe

He will make no denial

Of one pot or two

Which makes his bright hammer

To rise and to fall

Here's to old coal, and to young coal

And to no coal at all

Twanky dillo, twanky dillo

Twanky dillo, dillo, dillo, dillo

And a roaring pair of lowell pipes

Made from the green willow

Here's a health to King Charlie

And likewise the queen

And to all the royal little ones

Where'ere they're seen

Which makes his bright hammer

To rise and to fall

Here's to old coal, and to young coal

And to no coal at all

Twanky dillo, twanky dillo

Twanky dillo, dillo, dillo, dillo

And a roaring pair of lowell pipes

Made from the green willow

Here's a health to the pretty girl

The one I love best

Who kindles a fire

All in my own breast

Which makes his bright hammer

To rise and to fall

Here's to old coal, and to young coal

And to no coal at all

Twanky dillo, twanky dillo

Twanky dillo, dillo, dillo, dillo

And a roaring pair of lowell pipes

Made from the green willow
