    So I've heard in several Dubliners and Pogues songs mention of "Billy in the Bowl", anybody know who this refers to?

    It refers to an 18th century man who was born without legs who used an iron bowl to move himself around.He used to take advantage of peoples sympathy while begging and used his very strong arms to strangle and rob them.
