Typical Irishman Lyrics

Twenty years ago today I left old Erin's shore
I came over to America as thousands did before
Old Ireland was too small for me so away from home I ran
And I come from the county Kerry I'm a typical Irishman
Chorus:
Tralee, sweet Tralee oh? the town that sheltered me
Since I was a little boy upon my mother's knee
I love the land where I was born and I love the famous dan?
And I come from the county Kerry, I'm a typical Irishman

The steamer I came over in, it anchored in New York
Some of the boys from home were there and some from the county Cork
I made my way to old Broadway with some friends of the famous dan?
And I come from the county Kerry, I'm a typical Irishman
Chorus

There was Sullivan, Minehan?, Moyna?, Big Hat Brennan and O'Keefe
Some of them came from Dingle and McGillicuddy's? Reef
Rory Shae?, O'Connor too, and the mighty Brosnahan?
All of them from Kerry and the typical Irishman
Chorus

We sat around the table and they passed around the eats
Everyone was welcome and the cops came in to tea
They shattered up the music 'twas then the fun began
I enjoyed myself immensely like a typical Irishman
