One night a score of Erris menA
A score I'm told and nineB
Said We'll get shut of Danny's noiseC
Of girls and widows dyin'B
-
There's not his like from BinghamstownB
To Boyle and BallycroyD
At playing hell on decent girlsE
At beating man and boyF
-
He's left two pairs of female twinsG
Beyond in KillacreestH
And twice in Crossmolina fairD
He's struck the parish priestH
-
But we'll come round him in the nightH
A mile beyond the MulletH
Ten will quench his bloody eyesI
And ten will choke his gulletH
-
It wasn't long till Danny cameJ
From Bangor making wayK
And he was damning moon and starsL
And whistling grand and gayK
-
Till in a gap of hazel glenB
And not a hare in sightH
Out lepped the nine and twenty ladsM
Along his left and rightH
-
Then Danny smashed the nose of ByrneB
He split the lips on threeD
And bit across the right hand thumbN
Of one Red Shawn MageeD
-
But seven tripped him up behindH
And seven kicked beforeD
And seven squeezed around his throatH
Till Danny kicked no moreD
-
Then some destroyed him with their heelsO
Some tramped him in the mudH
Some stole his purse and timber pipeP
And some washed off his bloodH
-
-
-
And when you're walking out the wayK
From Bangor to BelmulletH
You'll see a flat cross on a stoneB
Where men choked Danny's gulletH
