The Crack Was Ninety In The Isle Of Man - The Dubliners

Well weren't we the rare oul' stock

Spent the evenin' gettin' locked

In the Ace O' Hearts where the high stools were engaging

Over the Butte Bridge down by the dock

The boat she sailed at five o'clock

Ah hurry on said Whack

Or before we're there we'll all be back

Carry him if you can

Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man

Before we reached the Alexander Base

The ding dong we did surely raise

In the bar of the ship had great sport

As the boat she sailed out of the port

Landed up in the Douglas Head

Enquiring for a vacant bed

The dining room we soon got shown

By a decent looking woman

Saying Lads ate up if you can

Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man

Next morning we went for a ramble round

Viewed the sights of Douglas Town

Ended up in a mighty session

In a pub they call Dick Darby's

We all got drunk by half past three

To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea

Back to the digs for the spruce up

While waitin' for the Rosie we all drew up our plan

Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man

That night we went to the Texas Bar

Came back down by horse and car

Met Big Jim and all went in

To drink some wine in Yates'

The Liverpool girls it was said

Were all to be found in the Douglas Head

McShane was there in tie and shirt

The foreign queer was tryin' to flirt

Sayin' Hey girls I'm your man

Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man

Whacker fancied his good looks

On the Isle of Man woman he was struck

The Liverpool lad was by her side and

And he threw the jars into her

Whacker thought he'd take a chance

He asked the quare one out to dance

Around the floor they rocked and rolled

To Whack it was no bother

Everythin' was goin' to plan

Oh The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man

The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack

Your man stood there till his mates came back

Whack They all whacked into Whack

Whack was landed on his back

The police force arrived as well

Banjoed a couple of them as well

Landed up in the Douglas gaol

'Til the Dublin boat did sail

Deported every man

Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man

Yes the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
