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