Irish Song Lyrics - Full NelsonAuthor: Donal O'Shaughnessy,Brian Hyland, Donny Ladoue
Copyright: 2015

Come gather all good people
and listen to my song
It's all about a law man
It won't detain you long
Some lawmen fight for justice
that's why they're in the game
but Nelson looks for drivers
going too fast down the lane


CHORUS
He's a law man
His name is Nelson Tift
When you leave the Inn at Long Trail
remember to down shift

It started back in grade school
a hard nosed crossing guard
He ticketed his classmates
for riding trikes too hard
He fined them their lunch money
and keep them after school
He's been tracking you since grade school
a life time constable CHORUS

He's hiding in the bushes
He's hiding in the trees
writing speeding tickets
just might be his disease
From Wallingford to Mendon
His radar gun he brings
writing tickets from Mount Holly
To Middletown Springs CHORUS

He ran for public office
on the principles of Tift
For folks in Rutland County
It might have been a gift
He should have been campaigning
instead he swung and whiffed
In Culinary terms
Old Nelson was French dipped CHORUS

He's back in his Camaro
filled with bitterness and hate
Even though he's off tonight
don't drive fast when it's late
He'll read that radar signal
like and idiot Savant
and you'll get a no holds barred
Full Nelson in Vermont CHORUS
