G
I had a first cousin called Arthur McBride
C G Am C
he and I took a stroll down by the seaside
G Em
a seeking good fortune and what might the tide
G Am 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 Am C
we met Seargeant Napper and Corporal Cramp
G Em
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 Am C
a guinea you quickly shall have in your fist
G Em
and besides a crown for to kick up the dust
G Am 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 Am C
the wee bit of money we'd have to run chance
G Em
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 Am C
instantly now will out with my sword
G Em
and into your bodies as strength might afford
G Am C D
so now me gay devils take warning
G C G
but Arthur and I we soon took the odds
C G Am C
and we gave them no chance for to draw out their swords
G Em
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 Am C
and we made a football of his rowdy dou dou
G Em
and into the ocean for to rock and to roll and
G Am C D
barring the day its returning
G C G
as for the ould rapier that hung by his side
C G Am C
we flung as far as we could in the tide
G Em
To the divil I pitch you says Arthur McBride
D C G
to temper your edge in the morning.
