You may travel from Clare to the County Kildare,

Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe me boys
D A D
Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe
[VERSE 1]
D A
I’m a buxom fine widow that lives in a spot,

In Dublin its known as ''The Coombe''
D A
Me shop and my stall are laid out in the street
D A D
And me palace consists of one room
[VERSE 2]
D A
By Patrick's street corner for 35 years
D A
I stood by me stall that's no lie
D A
And while I stood there, there's no one would dare
D A D
To say black was the white of me eye

Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe
[VERSE 3]
D A
I sell apples, oranges, nuts and split peas,
D A
Bulls eyes and sugar sticks sweet,
D A
On Saturday night I sell second hand clothes
D A D
From me stall on the floor of the street,
[VERSE 4]
D A
Now I have a son Mick who plays on the pipe,
D A
He belongs to the Longford street band
D A
It would do your heart good to see them march out
D A D
On a Sunday to Sandymount Strand
