Lynchahaun was here first!

I’m Lynchahaun I’m Lynchahaun
I’m just your very man
I’m Lynchahaun I’m Lynchahaun
Come catch me if you can

they seek me here they seek me there
they seek me throught the land
But I was with them searching for the famous Lynchaun

A cattleman from Mayo was taken for me twice
while I was laughing at the foe
And that was very nice

And then as well down in Clommel
they spied a railroad man
The stopped the train ‘but all in vain
For here was Lynchahaun

I’m Lynchahaun I’m Lynchahaun
I’m just your very man
I’m Lynchahaun I’m Lynchahaun
Come catch me if you can

They seek me high they seek me low
they seek me far and near
And every place I leave behind
I write Lynchahuan was here
