With Me Shillelagh Under Me Arm

With Me Shillelagh Under Me Arm - Ruby Murray

Sure I'm tired of roaming 'round

And so I'm gonna pack my grip

And I mean to book my passage on

A mighty powerful ship

I'll be bound to send a telegram

The day I reach the quay

To tell them in a week or two

They'll be expecting me

With my shillelagh under my arm

And a twinkle in my eye

I'm off for Tipperary in the morning

With my shillelagh under my arm

And a tu-ra-lu-ra-li

I'll be welcoming the home that I was born in

My mother's told the neighbour

That I'm gonna settle down

And Phil the Fluter's coming 'round

To play me round the town

With my shillelagh under my arm

And a twinkle in my eye

I'm off for Tipperary in the morning

Sure I'm feeling mighty fine

And I've got bags of money too

And I'm mean to give the folks at home

A proper Irish do

There'll be such a welcome waiting for ya

Rumble on the mat

I can just imagine people saying

Ah ha how are ya Pat

With my shillelagh under my arm

And a twinkle in my eye

I'm off for Tipperary in the morning

With my shillelagh under my arm

And a tu-ra-lu-ra-li

I'll be welcoming the home that I was born in

My mother's told the neighbour

That I'm gonna settle down

And Phil the Fluter's coming 'round

To play me round the town

With my shillelagh under my arm

And a twinkle in my eye

I'm off for Tipperary in the morning

My mother's told the neighbour

That I'm gonna settle down

And Phil the Fluter's coming 'round

To play me round the town

With my shillelagh under my arm

And a twinkle in my eye

I'm off for Tipperary in the morning
