It's the Same Old Shillelagh

In the style of

Irish Band

Lyrics

oh fifty years ago me
father left old erin's shore

he landed here his shillalah in
hand and a divil a penny more

he got a job then got a wife
and then a family

and when he died and left
his old shillalah stick with me

sure it's the same old shillalah

me father brought from ireland

and a divil a man
was prouder than he

when he walked with
it in his hand

he lead the band
on paddy's day

and twirl it round his mitt

and divil if, if we'd laugh at it

poor dad would have a fit

sure with the same
old shillalah e father

could lick a dozen men

as fast as they'd get up
begorrah he'd knock

'em down again

and many's the time
he used it on me

to make me understand

the same old shillalah me

father brought from ireland

oh i'm goin' on
the police force

it's the only thing to do

instead of having
one night stick

begorrah i'll have two

if there's a fight i'll be all right
there's no one bothers me

because i have the old
shillalah me father gave to me

sure it's the same old
shillalah me father brought

from ireland

and a divil a man was prouder
than he when he walked with

it in his hand

he led the band
on paddy's day

and twirl it round his mitt

and divil if if we'd laugh at it

poor dad would have a fit

sure with the same old
shillalah me father could lick

a dozen men

as fast as they'd get up
begorrah he'd knock

'em down again

and many's the time he
used it on me

to make me understand

the same old shillalah me

father brought from ireland
