i am a man of great influence
and i’m educated to a high degree
i came when small from donegal
and my cousin jimmy came along with me
i wanna city road i was situated
in a lodging house with me brother dan
’til by perserverance i elevated
and went to the front likе a solid man
chorus:
so come with me and i will treat you dеcent
i will sit you down and i will fill your can
and along the street, all the friends i meet say:
“there goes muldoon; he’s a solid man.”
i control the tombs, i control the island
my constituents, they all go there
to enjoy their summers recreation
and take the enchanting east river air
i am known in harlem, i’m known in jersey
i’m welcomed hearty at every hand
and come what may on st. patrick’s day
i march away like a solid man
chorus:
so come with me and i will treat you decent
i will sit you down and i will fill your can
and along the street, all the friends i meet say:
“there goes muldoon; he’s a solid man.”

i've known mick moloney since his early days with the irish folk group, the johnstons. his wonderful rendition of this song about a political boss captures the joy and pride of the irish as they started to make their way in the new world. i followed it with another joyful tune my grandfather, a flute player, taught me as a child
