Dear Unknown Lyric Requestor,Kevin's version is a little different than mine, but 'close enough for folk', as they say. Here are a couple of other verses I do that may be of interest to you or to Dick (on behalf of DigiTrad).
Enjoy! - Ian
--------- This verse goes well after the policeman verse or after the tinker gets kicked through Murphy's door:
Now he went off to find his brother; The biggest man you ever did meet. He 'gently' tapped me with his knuckles, And I was minus two front teeth.
--------- I usually use this verse as the last:
Through the Dingle Fair we rode together, My black eye and her red hair. Smilin' gaily at the tinkers, By God we were a handsome pair.
