wolfe tones - big strong man lyrics
have you heard about the big strong man?
that lives in a caravan.
have you heard about the jeffrey johnson fight?
oh, lord what a h-ll of a fight.
you can take all of the heavyweights you’ve got.
we’ve got a lad that can beat the whole lot.
he used to ring bells in the belfry,
now he’s gonna fight jack demspey.
that was my brother sylvest’ (what’s he got?)
a row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!)
he killed fifty bad men in the west; he knows no rest.
think of a man, h-lls’ fire, don’t push, just shove,
plenty of room for you and me.
he’s got an arm like a leg (a ladies’ leg!)
and a punch that would sink a battleship (big ship!)
it takes all of the army and the navy to put the wind up sylvest’.
now, he thought he’d take a trip to italy.
he thought that he’d go by sea.
he jumped off the harbor in new york,
and swam like a man made of cork.
he saw the lusitania in distress. (what he do?)
he put the lusitania on his chest. (big chest!)
he drank all of the water in the sea,
and he walked all the way to italy.
that was my brother sylvest’ (what’s he got?)
a row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!)
he killed fifty bad men in the west; he knows no rest.
think of a man, h-lls’ fire, don’t push, just shove,
plenty of room for you and me.
he’s got an arm like a leg (a ladies’ leg!)
and a punch that would sink a battleship (big ship!)
it takes all of the army and the navy to put the wind up sylvest’.
he thought he take a trip to old j-pan.
they turned out the whole br-ss band.
he played every instrument they got,
like a lad sure he beat the whole lot.
and the old church bells will ring (h-lls bells!)
the old church choir will sing (h-lls fire!)
they all turned out to say farewell to my big brother sylvest’.
that was my brother sylvest’ (what’s he got?)
a row of forty medals on his chest (big chest!)
he killed fifty bad men in the west; he knows no rest.
think of a man, h-lls’ fire, don’t push, just shove,
plenty of room for you and me.
he’s got an arm like a leg (a ladies’ leg!)
and a punch that would sink a battleship (big ship!)
it takes all of the army and the navy to put the wind up sylvest’.
