Subject: Lyr Add: MULLIGAN AND ME (from Paddy Reilly) From: GUEST,idjit5500@yahoo.com Date: 11 Mar 04 - 08:43 PM I stopped here looking for the lyrics to the song and hit on this thread. I had a Paddy Reilly tape with this song and wanted to get the lyrics. Since nobody else had it, I decided to transcribe them myself. Hope this helps somebody. I don't know the songwriter or even a year, but it must have been sometime in the last twenty years from the lyrics. MULLIGAN AND ME I took my mind for a little walk round the streets of yesterday To all the old places where the gang and I did play But deep inside it hurts my pride when I recall that day To think of what the 60's had the 80's took away I saw the dear old sweetshop where we bought our honeybees It's now been changed into a takeaway Chinese And even the old picture house where the gang all used to go Has since been turned into a roller disco Chorus: Whatever the gang and me. There was Billy Joe, Johnny O, Murphy and McGee And most of all my old pal, Mulligan, and me Folks today they talk too fast they've too much on their minds And always seem to look ahead but never look behind Life today can be full of fun if you take your time young man So take advice from one who knows and slow down while you can The gang and me have such memories would fill your heart with joy I long to see the golden days when I was just a boy Whatever the gang and me. There was Billy Joe, Johnny O, Murphy and McGee And most of all my old pal, Mulligan, and me And though the world is changing now where people come and go I'll not forget my dear old pals nor the ones I used to know Now every night I lift my glass in memory of those years And think of all the good old times while I hold back the tears Here's to the gang and me There was Billy Joe, Johnny O, Murphy and McGee And most of all my old pal, Mulligan, and me Jim Watson |

Subject: Lyr Add: MULLIGAN AND ME (Roy Taylor) From: Jim Dixon Date: 07 Sep 06 - 11:23 PM Might as well have it here, don't you think? It looks sufficiently folksy, I suppose. MULLIGAN AND ME (Roy Taylor) I took my mind for a little walk round the streets of yesterday, To all the old places where the gang and I did play, But deep inside it hurts my pride when I recall that day, To think of what the 60's had, the 80's took away. I saw the dear old sweet shop where we bought our honeybees. It's now been changed into a takeaway Chinese. And even the old picture house where the gang all used to go Has since been turned into a roller disco. CHORUS: Whatever happened to gang and me? There was Billy Joe, Johnny O, Murphy, and McGee, And most of all, my old pal, Mulligan, and me. Folks today they talk too fast. They've too much on their minds, And always seem to look ahead but never look behind. Life today can be full of fun if you take your time, young man, So take advice from one who knows and slow down while you can. The gang and me have such memories would fill your heart with joy. I long to see the golden days when I was just a boy. CHORUS And though the world is changing now where people come and go, I'll not forget my dear old pals nor the ones I used to know. Now every night I lift my glass in memory of those years, And think of all the good old times while I hold back the tears. CHORUS: Here's to you, the gang, and me. There was Billy Joe, Johnny O, Murphy, and McGee, And most of all, my old pal, Mulligan, and me. [Sung by Paddy Reilly on the various-artists compilation "In Dublin's Fair City," Celtic Corner CD 10042, 1998.] |

Subject: Origins: 'Mulligan and Me' From: GUEST,AndrewOB Date: 19 Aug 08 - 12:37 AM Hey, folks. I've been a fan of the DT for yonks, and now I have a question that I can't find an answer for already. Paddy Reilly did the above-mentioned song, as did, I think, the Dubliners, as well as a couple of artists here locally, but no one I've spoken to in and around here (St. John's, Newfoundland) who knows the song knows who wrote it. Anyone have any info on this one? |

Subject: RE: ADD/Origins: 'Mulligan and Me' From: GUEST Date: 05 Jul 10 - 08:51 AM Hi all The Song "Mulligan and Me" was written by my Brother Roy Taylor He now lives in Dundalk in Co. Louth Ireland The song refers to our younger days in Crumlin Dublin The reference to "Honey Bees" is about a little sweet (Candy)sold in Dublin in the sixties it was toffee and you could buy two for a penny. It had a picture of a honey Bee on the wrapper hence the name. The "Star Cinema" in Crumlin is the place that became "A Roller Disco Show" and is is now a Bingo Hall. Roy is an entertainer still and represented Ireland in the "Eurovision Song Contest" with a band called "Jump The Gun" His web site is www.roytaylor.ie why don't you visit it and say Hello. Liam. |
