IF YOU'RE IRISH COME INTO THE PARLOUR

In sweet Lim'rick Town, they say,
Lived a chap named Patrick John Molloy.
Once he sailed to USA
His luck in foreign parts he thought he'd try.
Now he's made his name, and is a wealthy man,
He put a bit away for a rainy day;
So if you gaze upon
The house of Patrick John,
You'll find a notice that goes on to say:

CHORUS
If you're Irish, come into the parlour,
There's a welcome there for you;
If your name is Timothy or Pat,
So long as you come from Ireland,
There's a welcome on the mat,
If you come from the mountains of Mourne,
Or Killarney's lakes so blue,
We'll sing you a song and we'll make a fuss,
Whoever you are you are one of us,
If you're Irish, this is the place for you!

Patrick loved the girl he wed,
But he could not stand his Ma-n-aw,
Once with joy he turned quite red,
When she got into trouble thro' her jaw.
Six police they had to take her to the court,
She was informed a month she would have to do,
So Patrick quickly wrote
Up to the judge a note
Explaining, "Sir, I'm much obliged to you!"

CHORUS

Yup, it's in the database, but there's no tune. Have you got a tune, Tiger?

I have recordings of the song, but no way to get it into the computer. Perhaps I can get some of my music notation software going, but don't count on it soon.

I might be able to play it on the piano and write down the melody line. Would that help?

Well, Tiger, I'll post the tune if you can write it up for me. Click on my name to send me an e-mail, and I'll e-mail my fax number back to you.
