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