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