“yeah, i think i remember vaguely you’re doing something about paddy clancy, is that right?”
down on the docks they had a rowl
’twas all on board of a canile scowl
had a jolly sailor come tell me true
is me brand new shovel, is me brand new shovel, is me brand new shovel on board with you?
had a jolly sailor come tell me true
is me brand new shovel, is me brand new shovel, is me brand new shovel on board with you?
well, down on the docks of the same old scowl
this is the way they settled the rowl
paddy clancy broke, paddy clancy broke your brand new shovel in two
paddy clancy broke your brand new shovel in two
“sam, that’s a, that’s a fragment. that’s about as well as i can remember it. about as well as, uh, you know, when you were singing [?] a while ago, i remember that one.”
