You may travel from Clare, to the county Kildare,
A                       E
from Dublin right down to Macroom,
A                         E
but where would you see a fine widow like me,
A              E           A
Biddy Mulligan, the pride of the Coombe.

1. I'm a buxom fine widow that lives in a place,
A                          E
in Dublin that's known as the Coombe.
A                         E
My shop and my stall are laid out on the street,
A         E            A
and my palace consists of one room.
A                          E
2. By Patrick's street corner for 35 years,
A                          E
I stood by my stall that's no lie.
A                             E
And while I stood there, there was no one would dare
A             E          A
to say black was the white of me eye.
A                        E

3. I sell apples and oranges, nuts and split peas,
A                     E
bull's eyes and sugar stick sweet.
A                     E
On a Saturday night I sell second hand clothes,
A            E             A
from my stall on the floor of the street.
A                       E
4. Now I have a son Mick and he plays on the pipe,
A                            E
he belongs to the Longford Street Band.
A                          E
It would do your heart good just to see them march out,
A         E            A
on a Sunday to Sandymount Strand.
