The Tunnel Tigers

歌詞

Hares run free on the Wicklow mountains Wild geese fly and the foxes play Sporting Wicklow boys are working Driving a tunnel through the London clay Up with the shields and jack it! Ram it! Drive a tunnel through the London clay Lough Derg trout grow fat and lazy Salmon sport in Cushla bay And fishermen from Connemara Drive a tunnel through the London clay Below Armagh the wild ducks breeding Wild fowl gather on Loch Rea The sporting boys of Longford County Are digging a tunnel through the London clay The curragh rots on the Achill Island Tourists walk on the Newport quay The Mayo boys have all gone roving Digging a tunnel through the London clay The Carlow girls are fine and handsome All decked out so neat and gay The Carlow boys don't come to court 'em They're driving a tunnel through the London clay Down in the dark are the tunnel tigers Far from the sun and the light of day Down in the land that the sea once buried Driving a tunnel through the London clay
