Verse 1
Grey road down to Waterford,
Mist upon the hill,
A green welly in the middle,
Standing very still.
Verse 2
Half a leg inside it,
Not a soul around,
Frank and me just staring,
Neither made a sound.
Chorus
Whose green welly,
Standing in the rain?
Who walked off on one good foot
And never came again?
Somewhere down in Waterford
A fella’s one leg short.
Verse 3
I got out and crept across,
Gave the boot a knock,
Plastic from the knee down,
Frank near died of shock.
Chorus
Whose green welly,
Standing in the rain?
Who walked off on one good foot
And never came again?
Somewhere down in Waterford
A fella’s one leg short.
Verse 4
Some shop window in Dungarvan,
A dummy on one pin,
Wearing half a summer dress
And a very puzzled grin.
Chorus
Whose green welly,
Standing in the rain?
Who walked off on one good foot
And never came again?
Somewhere down in Waterford
A fella’s one leg short.
Verse 5
Still we tell it in the pub,
Still we don’t know why,
Frank still swears he saw that leg
Twitch as we drove by.
Chorus
Whose green welly,
Standing in the rain?
Who walked off on one good foot
And never came again?
Somewhere down in Waterford
A fella’s one leg short.
