[verse 1]
it was sargent kilray of the cavan police
twas here to say “crimes on the increase
and the worst of the lot for breaking the law
are the boys that you’ve got in tullinahaw!”

[verse 2]
careful, they’re grave, and brave, they’re terrible
wanting the whole of ireland arable
mischief that soon will be irreparable
if its not squinched in tullinahaw!

[verse 3]
so sargent kilray and constable flynn
they started away that night to begin
bringing a taste of order and law
for man and for peacе in tullinahaw!

[verse 4]
for they lay by the wall, and they kеpt wide awake
’till they saw a man haulin’ a cow to the lake
“honest man, tell me now, is that cow all your own?”
“is it me or the cow that’s all skin and bone?”

[verse 5]
“sure, she belongs to wendy geraghty
whom i was driving her for charity”
“tell me something for some hilarity
why are you come’ from tullinahaw?”
[verse 6]
so sargent kilray was careful to say
“the case is suspicious in every way
and flynn said he saw a breach in the law
who’s driving a cow from tullinahaw!”

[verse 7]
oh, the trial came along and the prisoner swore
he was doing a neighborly act and no more
for the cow was no use, and the widow did say
“hey, give him a bob to take it away”

[verse 8]
“stop!” says the judge, “you’ve made no case of it!
that is a lie, surround the face of it
perjury too, there’s every trace of it
down with you, why’re in tullinahaw?”

[verse 9]
and sargent kilray and constable flynn
they made no delay in runnin’ him in
“and there for a year he’ll sit on the straw
lamenting the grandeurs of tullinahaw!”

[verse 10]
when they brought back the cow, said the widow “ochone!
how i wish the police would leave people alone
for if i could’ve proved the old reptile had drowned
i’d get compensation of nine or ten pounds!
[verse 11]
instead of the money to help further me
here the old beast is back to bother me
when john comes out, i’ll know he’ll murder me
gettin’ him took in tullinahaw!”

[verse 12]
and sargent kilray and constable flynn
they both of them grey and elderly men
shall tell how they brought back order and law…
’tis a different story in tullinahaw!
