With My Shilelagh Under My Arm

Sure I'm tired of roaming 'round
And so I'm gonna pack my grip
And I mean to book my passage on
A mighty powerful ship
I'll be bound to send a telegram
The day I reach the quay
To tell them in a week or two
They'll be expecting me

With my shillelagh under my arm
And a twinkle in my eye
I'm off for Tipperary in the morning
With my shillelagh under my arm
And a tu-ra-lu-ra-li
I'll be welcoming the home that I was born in
My mother's told the neighbour
That I'm gonna settle down
And Phil the Fluter's coming 'round
To play me round the town
With my shillelagh under my arm
And a twinkle in my eye
I'm off for Tipperary in the morning

Sure I'm feeling mighty fine
And I've got bags of money too
And I'm mean to give the folks at home
A proper Irish do
There'll be such a welcome waiting for ya
Rumble on the mat
I can just imagine people saying
Ah ha, how are ya Pat?

With my shillelagh under my arm
And a twinkle in my eye
I'm off for Tipperary in the morning
With my shillelagh under my arm
And a tu-ra-lu-ra-li
I'll be welcoming the home that I was born in
My mother's told the neighbour
That I'm gonna settle down
And Phil the Fluter's coming 'round
To play me round the town
With my shillelagh under my arm
And a twinkle in my eye
I'm off for Tipperary in the morning
