​The Mighty Man From Mayo Lyrics By Seamus Moore

The guitar chords are included in the same key Seamus Moore plays the song in.
Sheet music is in the ''extra'' ebook of songs here .
​I live on the farm three miles from Kilkelly
Talking to myself living on my own
I took out a singles ad in the farmers journal
And another one on midwest radio.

I'm a mild mannered middle aged man from Mayo
Living a quiet life down in the country
I'm six foot two never drank a drop of porter
But I'm looking for love some female company.

First to call was Mary from Bohola
Pretty as a picture a lady so refined
Well I took her for a spin on my Honda 50
And I sure as hell haven't seen her for a while.

Well the next to call was Eileen from Doohoma
Looking like a model very tall and thin
I asked her would she help me clean the hen house
I never, ever, ever saw her again.

I'm a mild mannered middle aged man from Mayo
Living a quiet life down in the country
I'm six foot two never drank a drop of porter
But I'm looking for love some female company.

One find day with Kathy down from Partry
Billy the goat really took a shine
Well he chased her all the way to Knock Airport
I never really got a chance to saw goodbye

The last girl I met was Margaret from Moygownagh
And things are going really, really slow
I still have the a in the Farmers Journal
And the other with Claffey on Midwest Radio.
I'm a mild mannered middled aged man from Mayo
Living a quiet life down in the country
I'm six foot four and I drink a lot of Porter
But I'm looking for love some female company.
Here's the guitar chords, which were set to me by David.

​It's in F# but I prefer to play in E shapes with CAPO on 2 to get the same key.
