"Daffodil Mulligan" lyrics

I'm Daffodil Mulligan, Biddy's young girl
And the fellas all say I'm a peach and a pearl
I was born at the daffodil time of year
So they just call me Daffy, now maybe that's queer

For I'm sweet Daffodil Mulligan I am
All me ancestors come from the Coombe
And I'm just such another, the spit of me mother
The lady that lives in one room; down on Francis Street
Sweet Daffodil Mulligan, (Fresh fish)
Like the sweet Blarney roses that bloom
I am bright, hale and hearty, the life of the party
I'm Daffy the belle of the Coombe, (Fresh fish)

It was in that pine forest so shady and dim
That I first met my Jemmy so tall and so slim
It was on an excursion the girls all looked swell
But I took the biscuit, and Jem's heart as well

For I'm sweet Daffodil Mulligan I am
All me ancestors come from the Coombe
And I'm just such another, the spit of me mother
The lady that lives in one room; down on Francis Street
Sweet Daffodil Mulligan, (Fresh fish)
Like the sweet Blarney roses that bloom
I am bright, hale and hearty, the life of the party
I'm Daffy the belle of the Coombe, (Fresh fish)

We were married in August when Jem was on strike
So he took me to Bray on the back of his bike
Now the strike is all over and Jem, bless his soul
Has settled down steadily drawing the dole

For I'm sweet Daffodil Mulligan I am
All me ancestors come from the Coombe
And I'm just such another, the spit of me mother
The lady that lives in one room; down on Francis Street
Sweet Daffodil Mulligan, (Fresh fish)
Like the sweet Blarney roses that bloom
I am bright, hale and hearty, the life of the party
I'm Daffy the belle of the Coombe, (Fresh fish)
