A Song
“My name is Mrs. Mulligan I dont live far from hear,”
A Song
1
My name is Mrs. Mulligan I dont live far from hear
my husband is a long shore man who
likes his drink of beer.
I do not like this neighbourhood the reason I tell you
Some blacgeuard stole my husband's shirt an old time navy blue
It was a rainy day my eyes were filled with dirt
It was either stole or blew away my husband's flannel shirt
2
Good morning Mrs. Murphy have you seen my husband's shirt
I hung it out upon the line after washing out the dirt
It was in the morning early I hung it on the line
Your clothes was there and Mulligans were hanging next to mine
It was a rainy day my were filled with dirt
it was either stole or blew away my husband's flannel shirt(continues on next page)
