Into a Belfastpub comes Paddy Murphy,
Looking like he'd just been run over by a train.
His armis in a sling, his nose is broken,
His faceis cut and bruised and he'swalking with a limp
"What happened toyou?" asks Sean, the bartender.
" Jamie O'Conner and mehad a fight," says Paddy.
"That little ****, O'Conner," says Sean,
"He couldn't do that to you,
He must have had something in his hand."
"That he did," saysPaddy, "a shovel is what he had,
And a terrible lickin' he gave me withit."
" Well," says Sean,"you should have defended yourself,
Didn'tyou have something in your hand?"
That I did," said Paddy.
"Mrs.O'Conner's breast, and a thing of
Beautyit was, but useless in a fight."
