the mickey dam - daoirí farrell lyrics

[verse 1]
i’m an honest irish labour’ and i come from the county clare
i always had a little farm with nothing left to spare
i had to sell me donkey and me little billy goat
and with the money i had left, to glasgow took the boat
in the morning when i landed there before me hair was dry
i was working on the mickey dam in a place they call mullguy
and the ganger that worked over us, well, they called him john the mouse
and the very next day i startin’ there at me he made to grouse
but i quickly surprised him, and i says, “you little rat
i’ll tie a string around your neck and i’ll toss you to the cat!”

[chorus]
for i’m as strong as any lion, i was reared on eggs and ham
i’m a terror to all fighting man around the mickey dam

[verse 2]
well this rose the mouse’s temper and at me he made a jump
and he swore he’d paralyse me with the handle of a pump
but i quickly surprised him and i grabbed him by the throat
and i shook that ugly monkey till the tail fell off his coat

[chorus]
for i’m as strong as any lion, i was reared on eggs and ham
i’m a terror to all fighting man around the mickey dam
[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
now the big hotels we’re stopping in, well, they call them navvy huts
and the bugs and fleas lives in the beds as big as coconuts
and on sat*rday night, when i get rare, i’ll stand behind the door
and as they march in one by one i’ll bash them to the floor

[chorus]
for i’m as strong as any lion, i was reared on eggs and ham
i’m a terror to all fighting man around the mickey dam

i’m as strong as any lion, i was reared on eggs and ham
i’m a terror to all fighting man around the mickey dam
