Would anyone have the lyrics to this song or know where I can find
them?
Thanks for the help.

Here's the words to McNally's Row of Flat. A great job done on this song can
be heard by Dan Milner & Bob Conway on their CD "Irish in America". A truly
great CD.

Sorry, I see that I didn't successfully psot the words, I'll try again.

McNally's Row of Flats

Down in Bottle Alley lived Timothy McNally
A wealthy politician and a gentleman at that
Admired by the ladies, the garsoons (boys), and the babies
That occupy the building called McNally's Row of Flats.

Chorus -

Ireland and Italy, Jerusalem and Germany, Chinese and Africans
and a paradise for rats.
Jumbled up together in the snow and rainy weather
They constitute the tenants in McNally's Row of flats.

That great conglomeration of men from every nation
The tower of Babylonium couldn't equal that
Peculiar institution where the brogues without dilution
Rattled on together in McNally's Row of Flats.

Chorus

Bags of rags and papers, tramps and other sleepers,
Ladies of the night and lots of other cats
Lyin on the benches an dyin there by inches
From the open ventilation of McNally's Row of Flats

Chorus

It never was expected that the rent would be collected
They levied on the furniture, the bedding, and the slats
It's then you'd see the rally as they battled down the alley
Evicted from the building called McNally's Row of Flats.

Chorus X2
