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