Same old shilleguggiii me father brougtht frome Ireland..

I'm off to join the police force it's the only thing to do
Instead of having one night stick begorra I'll have two

Hills of Connemarra
Swing to the left and swing to the right
The excise man he'll dance all night

Streets of El Paso..was the law after him or bad guys?

Anyway, one little kiss and Felina goodbye.

Waltzing Matilda
Up came three mounted troopers Kelly Davis and Fitzroy
And that is how they captured him the wild colonial boy
