Murphy

fought

with

Reilly
|
|
near
|
|
the
|
|
cliffs
|
|
of
|
|
Alderney
|
|
He
|
|
took
|
|
out
|
|
his
|
|
shillelagh
|
|
and
|
|
he
|
|
stabbed

him

|
in

the

spleen
|
|
When

Crazy

Michael

thought

he

was

a

leprechaun

But
|
|
in

|
fact
|
|
he's

just

a

leper

and

his

arms

his

neck

it

|
was

cryin'
|
|
shame
|
|
He
|
|
wasn't
|
|
really
|

Irish,

but

he

went

crossed

the

street

and

by

a

was

hit

|
But
|
|
he

|
was

|
just
|
|
a

Scotsman

so

nobody

gave
