The 2 Johnnies 'The Woman From Ballaghaderreen' (Song)
Why can’t more songs be set in Roscommon?
Absolutely no reason.
Channelling the spirit of the Pogues and the great Irish tradition of music and drinking songs.

Lyrics:
We were clean lifting on the back roads of Clifden
I’d been drawing bales to Kinsale
And I gave 2 weeks, milking cows in Abbeyleix
I was welding steel in Abbeyfeale
We went on the tear all around County Clare
Ate 14 fries in the town of Athy
And I built a stone wall from Inch to Annascaul
I was hunting a herd in Wexford
32 counties of culchies and townies
Football and the hurling and turf fires burning
I met the most beautiful woman you’ve ever seen, she was driving a digger in Ballahadereen
I was saving up money to get down on one knee
And then I’ll never leave my Irish cailín
I was driving a truck, all the way to Rosmuc
I had silage to haul in Cushendall
Leaning on a sweeping brush for the council in Kilrush
I was rigging in Balbriggan
We were burning rubber to get out of Ballintubber
We drank a full keg with the boys of Killybegs
I mixed grout by the bucket for a tiler in Belmullet
I was mixing cement in Buttevent
And it kills me to see the young people leave, my heart breaks for this old town
I’ve got cousins in Boston and Sydney too
An uncle in London and a girl in Kathmandu
I’ve got the woman of my dreams, so I’ll never leave
Up your Ma, Up your Da, Up Feckin Armagh
Would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya be well?
Ah ya would, ya would, ya would , ya would, ya would I can tell
Would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya, would ya marry me?
Would ya marry me, the woman from Ballahadereen?
