| «Mrs. |
| McGrath», Dr. Tierney did brag,
|
| «Send your son up to college where he can study ag.
|
| He’ll get a Volkswagen car and a tenner a week flat.
|
| Now Mrs. McGrath, wouldn’t you like that?»
|

|
| Mrs. McGrath, she came from County Clare,
|
| And for 47 or more years she’d lived there.
|
| She was a milkin' cows and a feedin' pigs
|
| To keep ould Ciaran in his Dublin digs.
|
| Wid yer too ry aa, fol the diddle da
|
| Too ry oo ry oo ry aa
|
| Found one day, what a terrible shame,
|
| As she swept out the kitchen now a letter came.
|
| And it bore bad news which was not expected.
|
| Ciaran had failed four times and was now rejected.
|
| Wid yer too ry aa, fol the diddle da
|
| Too ry oo ry oo ry aa
|
| Moral of the story is plain and clear —
|
| Stay away from the women and keep off the beer.
|
| And if you’ve got a son on the farm,
|
| Keep the young pup there where he’ll be out of harm.
