Subject: Lyr Req: There was an old man from Donaghadee
Does anyone know the full lyrics of the above.   I remember my father singing:
"There was an old man from Donaghadee,
And out of his bum there grew a plum tree.
The people refused to eat of the fruit,
Because it came out of a dirty old root."

Can anyone please supply the rest of the lyrics?
