1
Oh, 50 years ago, me father left old Erins shore
2
He landed here, a Shillelagh in hand and devil a little more
3
He got a job, then got a wife, then a family
4
And then he died and left his old shillelagh stick to me
5
Sure it's the same old shillelagh me father brought from Ireland
6
And devil a man prouder than he, as he walked with it in his hand
7
He'd lead the band on Paddy's Day and twirl it 'round his mitt
8
And devil a bit, we'd laughted at it, poor dad would have a fit.
9
Sure with the same old shillelagh, me father could lick a dozen men
10
As fast as they'd get up be gory, he'd knock 'em down again
11
And many's the time he used it on me to make me understand
12
The same old shillelagh, me father brought from Ireland
13
I'm going on the police force, it's the only thing to do
14
Instead of having one night stick, be gory, I'll have two
15
If there's a fight I'll be alright, nobody bothers me
16
Because I have the old Shillelagh me father gave to me
17
Sure it's the same old shillelagh me father brought from Ireland
18
And devil a man prouder than he, as he walked with it in his hand
19
He'd lead the band on Paddy's Day and twirl it 'round his mitt
20
And devil a bit, we'd laughed at it or Dad would have a fit
21
Sure with the same old shillelagh me father could lick a dozen men
22
As fast as they'd get up be gory, he'd knock 'em down again
23
And many's the time he used it on me to make me understand
24
The same old shillelagh me father brought from Ireland
25
Sure it's the same old shillelagh me father brought from Ireland
26
And devil a man prouder than he, as he walked with it in his hand
27
He'd lead the band on Paddy's Day and twirl it 'round his mitt
28
And devil a bit, we'd laughed at it or Dad would have a fit
29
Sure with the same old shillelagh me father could lick a dozen men
30
As fast as they'd get up be gory, he'd knock 'em down again
31
And many's the time he used it on me to make me understand
32
The same old shillelagh me father brought from Ireland
33
The same old shillelagh he brought from Ireland
