Thread Name: Origins: Micks Sticks - Boyne Water/Boiling Water
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Mick Stick - Boyne Water
My Irish Grandmother's version was:
My uncle Mick, he had a stick He made one hell of slaughter He killed ten thousand Orangemen at the Battle of the Boyne Water. One flew up and one flew down and one flew round the corner poor John Bull got go a bullet up him bum and (can't remember the last line)
My English father later told me about the battle of the Boyne. The rhyme was a lot of nonsense
