Mush Mush lyrics

Mush Mush
Oh, twas there I learned readin and writin ,
At Bill Brackett s where I went to school,
And twas there I learned howlin and fightin
With me schoolmaster, Mister O Toole.
     Him and me we had many a scrimmage,
     An divil a copy I wrote;
    There was ne er a gossoon in the village
     Dared tread on the tail o me...
cho: Mush, mush, mush toor-i-li-ady
     Mush, mush, mush toor-i-li-ay
     There was ne er a gossoon in the village
     Dared tread on the tail o me coat.
Oh, twas there that I learned all me courtin
O the lessons I took in the art!
Till Cupid, the blackguard, while sportin
An arrow drove straight through my heart.
     Miss Judy, she lived just forinst me,
     And tender lines to her I wrote,
     If ye dare say one hard word agin her
     I ll tread on the tail o yer...
cho:
But a blackguard called Mickey Maloney,
Came an stole her affections away
For he d money and I hadn t any,
So I sent him a challenge next day.
     In the evenin we met at the Woodbine
     The Shannon we crossed in a boat,
     An I lathered him with me shillelagh
     For he trod on the tail o me...
cho:
Oh, me fame went abroad through the nation,
An folks came a-flockin to see
An they cried out, without hesitation
"You re a fightin man, Billy McGhee!"
     Oh, I ve cleaned out the Finnegan faction
     An I ve licked all the Murphys afloat,
     If you re in for a row or a ruction,
     Just tread on the tail o me...
cho:
Recorded by  Patric Galvin, Clancys (I think), featured in film
     "The Quiet Man"
