pecker dunne - portlaoise jail lyrics

[verse 1]
oh, for thirty years i’ve been a tinker
i’ve tramped the mountains and the glen
i’ve courted girls in every county
and i fought the very best of men
i drank an awful lot of porter
i’ve slept in sun and snow and gale
but the life i loved was taken from me
when i spent two years in portlaoise jail

[chorus]
portlaoise jail would tame a tiger
[try, me boys and you’ll get bail?]
there’s many’s a heart that sobs and sighs
inside the walls of portlaoise jail

[verse 2]
i joined a camp outside k!llorglin
the night before they crowned the king
there was song and dance and plenty porter
with all wagons formed in around the ring
’till a foxy lass sat down beside me
[be dad?], says i, i’m alright here
but her husband roared and leapt between us
and he knocked me down with a kick in the ear
i hit him hard below the navel
he hit the ground with a mighty wail
his neck was broke, he died in seconds
and i spent puck fair in portlaoise jail
[chorus]
portlaoise jail would tame a tiger
[try, me boys and you’ll get bail?]
there’s many’s a heart that sobs and sighs
inside the walls of portlaoise jail
