GUEST,Geordie Lass	Origins: Micks Sticks - Boyne Water/Boiling Water (51* d)	RE: Lyr Req: Mick Stick - Boyne Water	01 May 12
Strange finding this site. My two sons were talking the other day about the song that their late Grandad used to sing to them and we wondered whether the "Battle of the Boiling Water " was in fact the Battle of the Boyne. Lyrics as sung by a geordie with Irish roots both Catholic and Protestant: Well me Uncle Mick had a bloody big stick He made one hell of a slaughter He killed 10 thousand men or more at the battle of the Boiling Water Some were killed and some were wounded some were shouting "murder" then me Uncle Jack got a bullet up his crack (substituted for young ears as "back") At the battle fo the Boiling water
