Glen Daly - It's The Same Old Shillelagh (1970)

Released on the 1970 album, "It's Glen Again Live at the Ashfield, Glasgow." Also recorded by Billy Murray, Bing Crosby and others. Written by Pat White. Sure it's the same old shillelagh Me father brought from Ireland. And divil a man prouder than He, As he walked with it in his hand. He'd lead the band on Paddy's Day And twirled it round his mitt And divil a bit we'd laught at it Or Dad would have a fit Sure with the same old shillelagh Me father could lick a dozen men As fast as they'd get up be gorra, He'd knock'em down again And many's the time he used it on me To make me understand The same old shillelagh Me father brought from Ireland. I'm going to join the police force it's the only thing to do instead of having one night stick be gorra I'll have two If there's a fight I'll be alright 'cause no one bothers me because I have the old shillelagh me father gave to me
