It began in eighteen-fifty (1850), down in Paddo town
So far from home in Ireland, that place of strong renown
Where Durty Nelly’s blossomed, with Guinness, craic and cheer
You’d think you’re back in Limerick, but no, you’ll find it here
Corner Glenmore, Gipps at Paddo, where the shepherd pies’ delight
And friends will meet at lunchtime, to craic on through the night
The Guinness is best, Kilkenny’s great and Caffreys hits the spot
There’s Murphys, Strongbow, VB, New, we’ve got the bloody lot!
Yes, it’s down at Durty Nelly’s you will never be alone
It’s just like back in Ireland, a home away from home
All bar staff greet you friendly, there’s service with a smile
They’ll bend your ears with tales from home, since you’ve not been there awhile
If you are missing home and out of sorts, remember what they taught ya
You’re welcome at Durty Nelly’s, ‘cause we mean céad míle fáilte
