[Champion The Wonder Horse]

Bishop Pat Buckley, 72

Commemorated eloquently and for all eternity in song by The Slaggarts. Can't remember it all but some of it might have gone like this.

In the mountains of old Mexico
Where the rebel priests we love to grow
We've heard of another, we love like a brother
He's Father Pat, our amigo

If your daughter is living in sin
With a pervert from outside Drumquin
In a broken down caravan, ragged and starvin
Father Pat, he'll take them in

If your girlfriend is ugly and coarse
If you've been through a messy divorce
In the family way, there's no need to delay
Just ring Father Pat Buckley of course

Tried to find that on YouTube last nite... v funny song from the Omagh Slaggs done in Mexican accent!

I only ever had it on a cassette. Lost it some time before the turn of the millennium.
