Текст песни The Man from Mullingar - The Irish Rovers

Well you can talk and write and
boast about your finions and your clans
And how the boys from County Cork beat up the Black and Tans
But I know a little codger who came out without a scar
His name was Paddy Mulligan, the man from Mullingar
The Peelers chased him out of Connemara
For beatin' up the valiant Shawn O'Hara
And when he came to Ballymoat, he stole the Parson's car
And he sold it to the Bishop in the town of Castlebar
Seven hundred Peelers couldn't match him
The captain gave the orders for to catch him
And when he came to Dublin Town, he stole an armored car
And gave it to the IRA brigade in Mullingar
The Peelers got the orders to suppress the man in sight
So they sent for reinforcements through the country left and right
A thousand men came after him, they hunted near and far
But never could they capture him, the man from Mullingar
The Peelers chased him out of Connemara
For beatin' up the valiant Shawn O'Hara
And when he came to Ballymoat, he stole the Parson's car
And he sold it to the Bishop in the town of Castlebar
Seven hundred Peelers couldn't match him
The captain gave the orders for to catch him
And when he came to Dublin Town, he stole an armored car
And gave it to the IRA brigade in Mullingar
They came with tanks and armored cars, they came with all their might
But them Peelers never counted on old Paddy's dynamite
From the thirteenth day of April, sure he blew them to July
And the name of Paddy Mulligan makes the Carols of Ireland sigh
The Peelers chased him out of Connemara
For beatin' up the valiant Shawn O'Hara
And when he came to Ballymoat, he stole the Parson's car
And he sold it to the Bishop in the town of Castlebar
Seven hundred Peelers couldn't match him
The captain gave the orders for to catch him
And when he came to Dublin Town, he stole an armored car
And gave it to the IRA brigade in Mullingar
Seven hundred Peelers couldn't match him
The captain gave the orders for to catch him
And when he came to Dublin Town, he stole an armored car
And gave it to the IRA brigade in Mullingar
