Story behind the song
The song is taken from a true story, highly embellished by drink and frivolity.
Lyrics
Ill tell you all a story; itll give you quite a shock Its all about the murders on the Rings End dock The girl in question was Biddy McGrath She strangled two sailors with the straps of her bra With me toorayeah, faladiddledah, tooraye ooraye orrayeah They tried to get her with hell-fire and liquor But smart as they were, they still couldnt trick her She remembered a story, told by her ma She quickly untied the straps of her bra She tied one around the big fellas head And she flung him in the Liffey like a crust of bread The little fella laughed and he went: Ha Ha! So she stuffed his gob with the rest of her bra She got home around a quarter to one Very happy and contented for a job well done She ups and tells her ma and her da Sayin: Thanks be to Jesus I was wearin me bra So if youre a little girl who likes sailors at night Make sure that the straps of your bra are tight Remember the story of Biddy McGrath Keep one hand on your knickers and the other on your bra

5 stars from a fellow songwriter. I write in collaberation with Billy Flack, a country singer/songwriter who lives in Scotland United Kingdom. We have written "True Friends", "My Heart is Broken", and "Country Girl at Heart" together and are working on a few others. Feel free to drop by his page and check us out. Hope you have a great week. P.S. All your other songs are excellent too but this is the one that I favor most.
