Irish army/drinking song?

I was in the army for a while a few years back, and there was this
marching song we used to do. The leader would make a statement, and
the reply was hooray and awwwwwwwwwwww, in that order. It went like
this

There was a man (hooray)
A lonely man (awwwwww)
(then he goes to the pub)
There was only one bar (awwwww)
Three miles long! (hooray!)
There were two barmaids (awww)
To every man! (hooray!)
(police are called, the joke is that it's the beangardai, which is an
Irish term)
We went to prison (awwww)
Women's prison! (hooray)
We broke out (awwww)
We broke back in! (hooray)

I don't remember half of it, but that's the basic gist. Anyone know
it?
