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.
