[E]
I'm an honest Irish labourer and I come from the county Clare
Oh, and once I had a little farm with nothing left to spare
I had to sell me donkey and me little billy goat
Oh, the money I had left to Glasgow took the boat
In the morning when I landed there [A] before me hair was dry
[E] I was working on [A] the Mickey [E] Dam in the place that they call Mullgai
And the ganger that worked over us, well, they called him John the Mouse
And the very next day I started there and me he [A] made to [E] grouse
But I quickly disapparised him [A] and I says, you little [E] rat
I'll tie a string all [A] around your [B] neck, I'll toss you [E] to the cot
For I'm as strong as any lion, [A] I was rarer than [Bm] Angus and Ham
Oh, [E] I'm a terror to all fighting men around the Mickey Dam, yeah
Well, this John the Mouse's tempered [A] and up me he made a [E] geumphob
And he swore that he'd paralyse me with the handle [A] of a pump
[E] But I quickly disapparised him [A] and I grabbed him by the [B] throat
And [E] I shook that [A] ugly monkey [B] till the tail fell off his coat
For [E] I'm as strong as any lion, [A] I was rarer than Angus and Ham
[Bm] Oh, [E] I'm a terror to all fighting [A] men [E] around the Mickey Dam
[A] [D]
[A] [E] [Bm]
[E] [A] [Bm] Now [E] [D] [A] [B]
[E] those big hotels were stopping him, they called [D] them Navvy [E] Huts
Oh, and the cops and [A] police that live in the beds there [Bm] as big as coconuts
[E] But on Saturday night when I get [G] rare I stand [A] behind [E] the door
Oh, and as they march out one [A] by one [B] I'll bash them to the floor
[E] I'm as strong as any lion, I [Bm] was [A] rarer than [D] Angus and Ham
Oh, [E] I'm a terror [A] to all fighting men [E] around the Mickey Dam
I'm as strong as any lion, [Bm] I was [C#m] rarer than Angus and [D] Ham
Oh, [C#m] I'm a terror to all fighting [A] men [E] around the Mickey Dam
