Barnbrack singing Mickey Marley's Roundabout, written by Seamus Robinson, @1976. Mickey Marley's died 28th april 2005. Mickey Marley had a wee horse, He kept it at the back of the house of course It wouldn't eat grass and it wouldn't eat hay -- But it would eat sugar lumps all the day. Mickey got wood and wheels for a start -- then he sat down and made a wee cart. He hammered and he hammered and he footered about -- Until he'd built a Roundabout. ( chorus ) Round and round and up and down, Through the streets of Belfast town -- All the children laugh and shout, For Here comes Mickey's Roundabout. Then he went from street to street -- A penny a time and pick your seat. A hobby-horse or a motor car -- jump on son and hold the bar. The children's faces shine with glee -- Laughs and smiles a sight to se. If you haven't got a penny and your Ma's gone out -- You'll still get on his Roundabout) chorus Then alas to his dismay -- The Roundabout was burnt one day. Mickey lost everything he had -- And all the children were so sad. But friends they gathered 'round -- From every part of Belfast town. They hammered and they hammered and they footered about -- And built him a brand new Roundabout. chorus Hobby horses don't get the old, On winter days don't feel the cold, But Mickey knows each winter pass, The round-about is still at last No more we'll here the happy sound Of his round-about in Belfast town But we find a horse and a wee small man Oh the joy they spread across the land {Repeat chours}
