lirik lagu dubliners - the twang man
come listen to my story, it’s about a nice young man
when the militia wasn’t a wantin’, he dealt in hawkin’ tw-ng
he loved a lovely maiden as fair as any midge
and she kept a traycle depot one side of the carlisle bridge
well, another one came a courtin’ her and his name was mickey baggs
he was a commercial traveller and he dealt in bones and rags
well, he took her out to sandymount for to see the waters roll
and he stole the heart of the tw-ngman’s girl playin’ ‘billy in the bowl’
oh, when the tw-ng man heard of this he flew into a terrible rage
and he swore be the content of his tw-ng cart, on him he’d have revenge
so he stood in wait near james’ gate till the poor old baggs came up
and with his tw-ng knife, sure he took the life of the poor old gather `em up
and it’s now ye have heard me story and i hope ye’ll be good men
and not go chasing the tw-ngman’s mot or any other oul’ hen
for she’ll leave you without a br-ss farthing, not even your old sack of rags
and that’s the end of the story of poor old mickey the baggs
