Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Way down in Clonakilty in the year of 89
\nThe locomotive Banba came chugging down the line
\nOn board sat Philip Harrington bound for culinary fame
\nThis place looks good to make me pud; I think I’ll call the same\u2026<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nClonakilty Blackpudding! Ses me daza, full of pep!
\nTo put the lead back in your pencil and the spring back in your step
\nHeaven knows what herbs and spices are inside the saucy skin
\nBut it brings a smile to Erin’s Isle Agus f\u00e1gfaimid mar sin.<\/p>\n

The man who made the motorcars from Ballinascarthy way
\nYoung Henry Ford who tempered gold from cold black steel, they say
\nSaid the painter in the foundry – which color, Henry, pray?
\nTis equal, Jack, once you make it black like that tasty tack!, said he.
\nChorus<\/p>\n

And when the hills of Carbery with ricochets did ring
\nAnd the Black and Tans and Auxies stalked the column in the glen
\nUp spoke our own Big Fellow saying – here’s rations for ye, men!
\nA half O’ tierce of Wrastler, you can guess what’s in the fin!
\nChorus<\/p>\n

Salute, ye sons of rebel Cork, the warriors of yore
\nWho donned the blood and bandage in fame forever more
\nBlithe Christy Ring, brave Thady Quill, those hurling heroes bold
\nWhat do you think sustained ’em, boys, and fortified their souls?<\/p>\n

FINAL Chorus:
\nClonakilty Blackpudding! ‘Tis me daza full of pep!
\nTo put the lead back in your pencil and the spring back in your step
\nNo one knows what Edward Twomey puts inside his saucy skin
\nBut it brings a smile to Erin’s Isle Agus f\u00e1gfaimid mar sin.<\/p>\n

Notes: Ballad makers were traditionally commissioned to sing and compose the praises of their patron’s wares. Throughout the Middle Irish period, the Fili sustained themselves by eulogizing the Irish aristocracy. So, things haven’t changed that much and I’m glad that my patron, Mr. Edward Twomey, has a good sense of the tradition.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
