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