Subject: RE: lyr req: Irish Police (Darby And Tarlton)
Thanks for that, Stewie. I agree the first half is somewhat suspect, however the third stanza is a huge improvement over mine and sounds largely correct.

I still haven't seen a transcription of the first line of the second stanza I'm happy with. I do think the line ends with pub (it would fit with stereotypes about Irish drunkenness). Perhaps "It's darling Linda at the window of the pub"?
