Subject: Lyr Add: PRIDE OF PIMLICO From: Martin Ryan Date: 11 May 97 - 03:58 PM Here goes. Place names are all in the "Liberties" - an old area of Dublin. PRIDE OF PIMLICO Come all ye broken hearted ones and listen to my lay About a lovely damsel, as fair as any may, Who's caused much tears and sorrow and grief and heartfelt woe. It's Kitty Flynn I'm speaking of, the Pride of Pimlico. It's just about a month ago unto this place she came, And set our hearts a-blazing up in love's undying flame, And made of every other lass about the place a foe, Because she took their sweethearts, did the Pride of Pimlico. Poor Paddy Burke the tailor now can't do a stroke of work, Nor Billy Shee the handyman, nor steady Jack McGurk; And if you ax the reason, all they'll answer you is: "O 'Tis all because of Kitty Quinn, the Pride of Pimlico." Old Jimmy Kane the miser that no one could get round, And young Tom Ray who owns a forge and near a hundred pound, And Matt McCann whose father keeps the Irish Waxwork Show Are raving night and day about the Price of Pimlico. It's time the polis saw to it. It soon will be too late, An divil a man in all the Coombe will have a solid pate, Or soon beyond in Riley's, a sight of awful woe You'll see ten thousand victims of the Pride of Pimlico! Written by Arthur Griffith - the man who negotiated the Anglo-Irish Treaty in 1920/1. |

Subject: RE: a few words, please? (pride of pemlico) From: Murray Date: 24 May 97 - 02:37 AM Another stanza (should be 4th):
There's Murphy, the teetotaler, he's gone upon the spree, The lass's name, by the way, is Quinn and not Flynn. [This text in Colm O Lochlainn,"More Irish Street Ballads" (Dublin: Three Candles, 1965), 265-6.] |
