MULDOON THE SOLID MAN
Copyright, 1874, by E. H. Harding.

I am a man of great influence,
And educated to a high degree,
I came here when small from Donegal,
In the Daniel Webster, across the sea;
In the Fourteenth Ward I situated,
In a tenement house with my brother Dan;
By perseverence I elevated,
And went to the front like a solid man.

Chorus.
Go with me and I'll treat you dacent;
I'll set you down and I'll fill the can;
As I walk the street each friend I meet
Says, "There goes Muldoon-he's a solid man."

At any party or any raffle
I always go as an invited guest;
As canspicuous as General Granite, boys;
I wear a rosebud upon my breast;
I'm called upon to address the meeting,
Without regard to clique or clan;
I show the constitution with elocution,
Bekase you know I'm a solid man.

Chorus.
For oppositions or politicians,
Take my word I don't give a darn;
As I walk the street each friend I meet
Says, "There goes Muldoon-he's a solid man."

I control the Tombs, I control the island,
My constituents they all go there,
To enioy the Summer's recreation,
And the refreshing East River air;
I'm known in Harlem, I'm known in Jersey,
I'm welcomed hearty on every hand;
Wid my regalia on Patrick's Day,
I march away like a solid man.

Chorus.
For oppositions or politicians,
Take my work I don't give a darn;
As I walk the street each friend I meet
Says, "There goes Muldoon-he's a solid man "
