E
I had a first cousin called Arthur McBride
A E F#m A
he and I took a stroll down by the seaside
E C#m
a seeking good fortune and what might the tide
E F#m A B
it was just as the day was a dawning
E A E
And after we rested we went on a tramp
A E F#m A
we met Seargeant Napper and Corporal Cramp
E C#m
and a little wee drummer who beat up our camp
B A E
with his rowdy dou dou in the morning
E
He said my young fellows if you will enlist
A E F#m A
a guinea you quickly shall have in your fist
E C#m
and besides a crown for to kick up the dust
E F#m A B
and drink the King's health in the morning
E A E
but had we been such fools as to take the advance
A E F#m A
the wee bit of money we'd have to run chance
E C#m
do you think it no scuples for to send us to France
B A E
where we would be killed in the morning
E
He says my young fellows if I hear but one word
A E F#m A
instantly now will out with my sword
E C#m
and into your bodies as strength might afford
E F#m A B
so now me gay devils take warning
E A E
but Arthur and I we soon took the odds
A E F#m A
and we gave them no chance for to draw out their swords
E C#m
our wacking shillelaghs came over their heads
B A E
and paid them right smart in the morning
E
As for the wee drummer we rifled his pouch
A E F#m A
and we made a football of his rowdy dou dou
E C#m
and into the ocean for to rock and to roll and
E F#m A B
barring the day its returning
E A E
as for the ould rapier that hung by his side
A E F#m A
we flung as far as we could in the tide
E C#m
To the divil I pitch you says Arthur McBride
B A E
to temper your edge in the morning.
