It's the Same Old Shillelegh (Album Version) 歌詞
It's the Same Old Shillelegh - Morton Downey
50 years ago me father left old Erins shore
He landed here
A Shillelagh in hand and devil a little more
He got a job and then a wife
Then a family
But after he died and left his old shillelagh stick to me
Sure it's the same old shillelagh
Me father brought from Ireland
And devil a man was prouder than when he had in his hand
He used to take to bed with him he never part with it
And devil a one we'd mock at it surely have a fit
While it's the same old shillelagh
Me father could lick a dozen men
As fast as they'd get up be gory
He'd knock 'em down again
And many the time he used it on me to make me understand
Sure it's the same old shillelagh
Me father brought from Ireland
I'm going on the police force
It's the only thing to do
Instead of having one night stick be gory I'll have two
If there's a fight I'll do alright to be no one bothers me
Cause I have the old Shillelagh
Me father always gave to me
Sure it's the same old shillelagh
Me father brought from Ireland
And devil a man was prouder than he
When he had it in his hand
He use to take to bed with him
He never part with it
Sure devil a one we'd mock with it he have a fit
Sure with the same old shillelagh
Me father could lick a dozen men
As fast as they'd get up be gory
He'd knock 'em down again
And many the time he used it on me to make me understand
Sure it's the same old shillelagh me father brought from Ireland
