Verse
D
Matty walked out on a frozen night
G D
Making for the pub, shoulders hunched up tight
G D
Head down on the railroad track
A D
And his old cow Delia sad lowing him back
D
He met with a dark and staggering man
G D
And as he passed him by shouted back at him
G D
"Hey Matty, can't you see what's become of me
A D
In this country of the blind!
A D
The house I have left is dead to me
A D
To my rhyming and my poetry
G
All I've got is the beat of the stagger
A D
Heading down the Curragh line!"
[Verse 2]
D
But Matty passed on as quick as he could
G D
He couldn't stand such a drunken man sober
G D
All he wanted was the lights of the bar
A D
The Nightingale, the Wild Rover
A D
When he came in they were sighing
D
"Look who's back, Did they throw you out of Jack's
D
With your spoutin' and your swearin'
A D
We don't want to hear about Bunker Hayden
G A D
But maybe you'll sing us the Girls of Kinkane"
[Instrumental]
D G D G D A D
[Verse 3]
D
The Fear an Tí eyed him steadily
G D
As he handed him a pint of porter
G D
"You must have seen the bishop's ghost tonight
A D
To put the dry look back in your eye!"
D
But Matty would not be taken in
G D
By their jibin' and their regalin'
G D
He found himself a fresh-blown crew
A D
And fell in with their sportin' and their balin'
[Verse 4]
A D
As he was going home, on the very same spot
A D
He met with his dark familiar
G
He seen him coming back down the line
A D
He was bright and strange and fine
D
As he passed him by, Matty threw out his arms
G D
Trying to grab hold of his likeness
G D
In the morning all the found was his frozen corpse
A D
At the butt of the Curragh line
A D
At the wake they were lashing out the drops of brandy
D
The aul-fashioned habit
A D
In the church they were lashing down pounds and fivers
G A D
So Matty would be fine in the old by and by
