Daffodil Mulligan

I'm Daffodil Mulligan, Biddy's young girl And the fellas all say I'm a peach and a pearl I was born at the daffodil time of year So they just call me Daffy, now maybe that's queer For I'm sweet Daffodil Mulligan I am All my ancestors come from the Coombe And I'm just such another, the spit of my mother The lady that lives in one room (down on Francis Street) Sweet Daffodil Mulligan, fresh fish! Like the sweet Blarney roses that bloom I am bright hale and hearty, the life of the party I'm Daffy the belle of the Coombe, fresh fish! It was in that pine forest so dark and so dim That I first met my Jemmy so tall and so slim It was on an excursion the girls all looked swell But I took the biscuit, and Jem's heart as well For I'm sweet Daffodil Mulligan I am All my ancestors come from the Coombe And I'm just such another, the spit of my mother The lady that lives in one room (down on Francis Street) Sweet Daffodil Mulligan, fresh fish! Like the sweet Blarney roses that bloom I am bright hale and hearty, the life of the party I'm Daffy the belle of the Coombe, fresh fish! We were married in August when Jem was on strike So he took me to Bray on the back of his bike Now the strike is all over and Jem, bless his soul Has settled down steadily drawing the dole For I'm sweet Daffodil Mulligan I am All my ancestors come from the Coombe And I'm just such another, the spit of my mother The lady that lives in one room (down on Francis Street) Sweet Daffodil Mulligan, fresh fish! Like the sweet Blarney roses that bloom I am bright hale and hearty, the life of the party I'm Daffy the belle of the Coombe, fresh fish!
