My Dad sang about a great fighting bulldog perhaps 60 years ago (and he only seemed to know fragments)It went something like this:

Oh gentlemen he was a dandy
He weighed around 29 pounds (59?)
He was a great fighting bulldog
And he licked them for (30 - 40 ?) miles round.

Then I offed with me coat and me hat
Sailed into the whole Murphy faction
???????? From old Mike down to little Pat

That's the best I can remembrer it .... does it ring a bell for anyone? Thanks ..... Edmund
