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
Im a buxom fine widow that lives in a place,
In Dublin its known as ''The Coombe''
Me shop and my stall are all laid out in the street
And me palace consists of one room
[Chorus]
By Patrick's street corner for 35 years
I stood by me stall thats no lie
And while I was there there's no one would dare
To say black was the white of me eye
[Chorus]
I sell apples,oranges nuts and split peas,
Bulls eyes and sugar sticks sweet,
On saturday night I sell second hand clothes
From me stall on the floor of the street,
[Chorus]
Now I have a son mick who plays on the pipe,
He belongs to the Longford street band
It would do your heart good to see them march out
On a Sunday to Sandymount Strand
