Mush Mush Lyrics - Clancy Brothers

Mush Mush 

Oh, 'twas there I learned readin' and writin', 

At Bill Brackett's where I went to school, 

And 'twas there I learned howlin' and fightin' 

With me schoolmaster, Mister O'Toole. 

Him and me we had many a scrimmage, 

An' divil a copy I wrote; 

There was ne'er a gossoon in the village 

Dared tread on the tail o' me... 

cho: Mush, mush, mush toor-i-li-ady 

Mush, mush, mush toor-i-li-ay 

There was ne'er a gossoon in the village 

Dared tread on the tail o' me coat. 

Oh, 'twas there that I learned all me courtin' 

O the lessons I took in the art! 

Till Cupid, the blackguard, while sportin' 

An arrow drove straight through my heart. 

Miss Judy, she lived just forinst me, 

And tender lines to her I wrote, 

If ye dare say one hard word agin her 

I'll tread on the tail o' yer... 

cho: 

But a blackguard called Mickey Maloney, 

Came an' stole her affections away 

For he'd money and I hadn't any, 

So I sent him a challenge next day. 

In the evenin' we met at the Woodbine 

The Shannon we crossed in a boat, 

An' I lathered him with me shillelagh 

For he trod on the tail o' me... 

cho: 

Oh, me fame went abroad through the nation, 

An' folks came a-flockin' to see 

An' they cried out, without hesitation 

"You're a fightin' man, Billy McGhee!" 

Oh, I've cleaned out the Finnegan faction 

An' I've licked all the Murphys afloat, 

If you're in for a row or a ruction, 

Just tread on the tail o' me... 

cho: 

Recorded by Patric Galvin, Clancys (I think), featured in film 

"The Quiet Man"
