Biddy Mulligan The Pride Of The Coombe Lyrics - Singles - Clancy Brothers

Biddy Mulligan, The Pride of the Coombe 

cho: 

You may travel from Clare to the county Kildare 

From Francis Street back to the Coombe; 

But where would you see a fine widow like me? 

Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe, me boys, 

Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe. 

I'm a buxom fine widow, I live in a spot 

In Dublin, they call it the Coombe. 

Me shops and me stalls are laid out on the street, 

And me palace consists of one room. 

I sell apples and oranges, nuts and sweet peas, 

Bananas and sugar stick sweet. 

On a Saturday night I sell second-hand clothes, 

From the floor of me stall in the street. 

cho: 

I sell fish on a Friday, spread out on a board; 

The finest you'll find in the sea. 

But the best is my herrings, fine Dublin Bay herrings, 

There's herrings for dinner and tea. 

I have a son, Mick, he's great on the flute, 

He plays in the Longford Street band; 

It would do your heart good for to see him march out 

On a Sunday for Dollymount Strand. 

cho: 

In the park, on a Sunday, I make quite a dash; 

The neighbors look on in surprise. 

With my Aberdeen shawlie thrown over my head, 

I dazzle the sight of their eyes. 

At Patrick Street corner, for sixty-four years, 

I've stood, and no one can deny 

That while I stood there, nobody could dare 

To say black was the white of my eye.
