Irish Boogie Man
Could be a folk song?
If you’ve ever loved good music, let me point you to a manWhose talent made him famous from Kilkenny to Strabane.Once indeed I heard a rumour he’d hit Broadway in New YorkThat famous Irish boogie man who came from County Cork. He mostly sang a country style with a little touch of Elvis.The little colleens all went wild when they saw him spin his pelvis.He was a star in every bar, his body meat upon a fork,That swinging, singing boogie man who came from County Cork Sad to say he had a fault,A bit inclined to drink.His star soon plummeted to earthHe spent so much time in clink.If you want to find him now, you can search most anywhere.He’ll be lying in a street in Killarney or Kildare,Or propping up a bar in Dublin or DundalkThat sad old singing boogie man who came from County Cork.
