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 pillars 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 pillars 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 pillars 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 pillars 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
