He are the words to Old Johnny Bull, taken from the "Matt McGinn" as stated above. Some of the songs from that LP are available on "The Best of Matt McGinn", but that one isn't included. There's an email address for more info, though: mattmcginnrecords@yahoo.com CHORUS: Old Johnny Bull was a silly old fool He was drunk both night and day He swore that the hair on his head was fair But the ruddy old stuff was grey, was grey The ruddy old stuff was grey With his umbrella and a big CUSAR(?) He'd set off overseas Kick every black till they stabbed him in his back Then crawled home on his knees CHORUS He put up his mitts to his old pal Fritz Saying "I'll soon stop your larks" With a mighty pound Fritz fell to the ground Then arose with a million marks CHORUS He tried for a dance from la Belle France In a great big fancy hall She cried "disgrace" and she slapped his face Then she barred him from the hall CHORUS He didn't have a home so he went for a loan To his friends in the USA Says Uncle Sam as he stuck him in the pram "To hell now all the way!" CHORUS Now to end this tale, his heart did fail After several false alarms When they shovelled him in He did look thin Though he still had mighty arms
