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