Here's my rough transcription. Still a few spots I'm not sure about. Welcome to feedback.

Irish Police
(Darby And Tarlton)

I'm the Irish police, preserving the peace
I belong to the roadway patrol
Don't I look grand with a club in my hand
Every day out for a stroll

It's ?dawning and dusk? at the window of the pub
My darling, won't you come here
Oh Dolly, oh clover, I'll arrest you all over
I belong to the Patricko* clan

?If I get set wrong?, love is a drum [1:40]
I'm ?crippled? and ?purer than milk?
I'm the Irish police, preserving the peace
I belong to the roadway patrol

Each darling I meet a-walking these streets
I arrest 'em and ride 'em with me
I'm the Irish police, preserving the peace
I belong to the roadway patrol


* This is certainly not a real clan, but I couldn't find a name that matched closely with what I heard so I left it as this
