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