A Pub in old Clonmel



I roved out from north County Mayo
I passed down by Ballin Tubber well,
Bound for south Tipperary
To the town of old Clonmel.
Me cousin he left before me
to opened up a pub,
A servin' drinks quite tasty
From an old wooden wash tub.
He bought himself a building
now gather 'round and here me,
And gave it a name thats dear to me
He called it just Sean Tierney.
Sean Tierney's pub is famous now
I'm here to let you know,
Awards from Munster's uppercrust
So don't be caught up in the dust
To Sean Tierney's off we go.
