Pat of Mullingar
You may talk and sing and boast about
Your fenians and your clans
And how the boys from County Cork
Beat up the black and tans
But I know a little badger
Who came out without a scar,Whoa!
His name was Paddy Mulligan
The man from Mullingar
Chorus:
The Peelers chased him out of Count' Amarrah
For beatin' up the valet of Stan O'Hara
And when he came to Ballymo'
He stole the parson's car
And he sold it to the bishop
In the town of Castlebar
Seven hundred Peelers couldn't latch him
The chief said that the art is for to catch him
When he came to Dublin town he stole an armored car
And he gave it to the IRA brigade in Mullingar
Well the Peelers got their orders
To Supress the man at sight
So they sent for reinforcements
Through the country left and right
Three thousand men surrounded him
They hunted near and far
But he was with the IRA In Johnson's motorcar
(Chorus)
They came with tanks and armored cars
They came with all their might
Them Peelers never counted on Paddy's dynamite
From the 14th day of April
When he blew them to July
And the name of Paddy Mulligan Whoa!
St'girls of Ireland's eye
