​The Mighty Man From Mayo Lyrics By Seamus Moore

The guitar chords are included in the same key Seamus Moore plays the song in.

​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.
