Garda Anna From Buncrana Lyrics by Conal Gallen

Words and music by Darragh O'Neill, A comical song about a Garda from Donegal  who leaves Buncrana to be stationed in the big smoke [Dublin] Templemore is where the Garda [Irish Police] get their training. Garda Siochana in English is Guard Of The Peace. Conal Gallen is one of the top comedians in Ireland. Where Did All The Folk An Ballad Singers Go is another of Conal's songs that are on the site .

[Would all cars be on the lookout for Conal Gallen, he thinks he's a real comedian]
Her name is anna, she's from Buncrana,
She's a member of the Garda Siochana
She's the pride of Templemore, now she's up in Dublin 4
And God help ye if you're smoking marij,,,

Everybody says the country's gone ballistic
You just need to look at recent crime statistics
Ah but Anna's figured out, what to do with larger louts
Is to dress them up in mini skirts and lip stick
[Sargent, hasn't that fella in the red skirt got a fine pair of legs]

Her name is anna, she's from Buncrana,
She's a member of the Garda Siochana
She's the pride of Templemore, now she's up in Dublin 4
And God help ye if you're smoking marij,,,

Half the Gards of Ireland dream of being her lover
'Cause it seems that they recently discovered,
She's no ordinary plod, cause they heard The Flying Squad
Reckon that she does her best work undercover

[Anything you say will be taken down,,,,,,,,]

Her name is anna, she's from Buncrana,
She's a member of the Garda Siochana
She's the pride of Templemore, now she's up in Dublin 4
And God help ye if you're smoking marij,,,
 
 
If you ever think of driving when you drink,
You may find you're not as clever as you think
Though you're eyes may hypnotized her
You won't fool her breathalyzer
You'll be in Mountjoy as fast as you can blink
 
[Will you blow in here sir ?,,,]
 
 
She once pulled me 'cause me bike had no reflector,
I gave more guff that she would get from hector.
She took none of my auld cheek, she'll make Sargent in a week
And by Christmas I would say she'll make inspector.

Her name is anna, she's from Buncrana,
She's a member of the Garda Siochana,
She's the pride of Templemore, now she's up in Dublin 4
And God help ye if you're smoking marij,,,

Her name is anna, she's from Buncrana,
She's a member of the Garda Siochana
She's the pride of Templemore, now she's up in Dublin 4
And God help ye if you're smoking marij,,,
