Don’t Go for ”The One” - Gaelic Storm

My friend Harvey married Tracey McColl
By Christ she was a scary ol' doll
A voice out of hell and with a temper to boot
Arms like a navvy and a face like dried fruit
I bumped into Harvey back home last year
Says I to him Do you want to go for a beer
No Me sister's French husband is over says he
I've been sent to get snails to impress him for tea
I was down in the snail shop she told me to go
I'm a little bit late because the business was slow
If I'm not home by six I'll surely be done
The missus will kill me Let's just go for the one
The one the one don't go for the one
Don't go for the one for the one for the one
The one the one don't go for the one
Don't go for the one for the one for the one
For the one went down fast the second did too
Three of four followed 't was a fine how do you do
Harvey looked at his watch and shrieked out with fright
It was twenty past ten we'd been drinking all night
Well cursing my name he sped cross the floor
Clutching the snails he ran out the door
I'm a dead man he said I'm drunk and I'm late
As he tore down the road and up to his gate
The one the one don't go for the one
Don't go for the one for the one for the one
The one the one don't go for the one
Don't go for the one for the one for the one
Well he opened the gate and he ran down the path
For he knew he was in for the dragon's wrath
But he tripped and he fell and up in the air
Went the bag and with the snails flying everywhere
Hearing the noise she kicked open the door
Snails and Harvey were spread cross the floor
You're three hours late she screamed as loud as she could
What's your excuse This had better be good
Well he looks down at the snails and with a confident air
He says Five more feet lads we're nearly there
The one the one don't go for the one
Don't go for the one for the one for the one
The one the one don't go for the one
Don't go for the one for the one for the one
