Biddy Mulligan the Pride of the Coombe

I'm a decent fine widow, I live in a spot In Dublin, they call it the Coombe.
Me shops and me stalls are laid out in the street, And me palace consists of one room.
I sell apples and oranges, nuts and sweet peas, Bananas and sugar stick sweet.
On Saturday night I sell second-hand clothes, From the floor of me stall on the street.

CHORUS
You may travel from Clare to the County Kildare
From Dublin right down to Macroom
But where would you see a fine widow like me?
Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe, me boys,
Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe.


I sell fish on a Friday, spread out on a board the finest you'll find in the sea.
But the best is me herring, fine, fine Dublin herring,
There's herring for dinner today.
I have a son, Mick, he's great on the flute, he plays in the Longford Street band;
It would do your heart good for to see him march out
On a Sunday for Dollymount Strand.

CHORUS

You may travel from Clare to the County Kildare
From Dublin right down to Macroom
But where would you see a fine widow like me?
Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe, me boys,
Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe.



In the park, on a Sunday, I make quite a dash the neighbours look on in surprise.
With my Aberdeen shawlie thrown over my head, I dazzle the sight of their eyes.
At Patrick Street corner, for sixty-four years, I've stood,
and no one can deny that while I stood there,
not a person would dare
to say black was the white of my eye.

CHORUS



You may travel from Clare to the County Kildare
From Dublin right down to Macroom
But where would you see a fine widow like me?
Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe, me boys,
Biddy Mulligan the pride of the Coombe.
