[Verse 1]
F#m
One fine summer's morning, both gallant and gay,
F#m
Twenty-four ladies went out on the quay,
F#m
And a regiment of soldiers did soon pass them by,
F#m
B drummer and one of them soon caught his eye.
[Verse 2]
F#m C#m F#m
He went to his comrades and to them did say,
F#m C#m
"Twenty-four ladies I saw yesterday,
Dmaj7 C#m
Oh, and one of those ladies she has me heart won,
Dmaj7 E C#m F#m
And if she denies me then surely I'm done."
[Verse 3]
F#m C#m F#m
"Go off to this woman and tell her your blight
F#m C#m
Tell her she's wounded your poor heart inside.
Dmaj7 C#m
Go and tell her she's wounded your poor heart, full sore,
Dmaj7 E C#m F#m
And if she denies you what can you do more?"
[Verse 4]
F#m C#m F#m
So early next morning this young man arose,
F#m C#m
And he dressed himself up in a fine suit of clothes,
Dmaj7 C#m
With a watch in his pocket and a cane in his hand,
Dmaj7 E C#m F#m
He saluted those ladies as he walked down the strand.
[Interlude]
F#m C#m
[Verse 5]
F#m C#m F#m
Well he walked up to her and he says "Pardon me,
F#m C#m
Pardon me lady for making so free,
Dmaj7 C#m
Me fine honored lady, you have me heart won,
Dmaj7 E C#m F#m
And if you deny me I'm surely undone."
[Verse 6]
F#m C#m F#m
"Go off little drummer, now what do you mean?
F#m C#m/E C#m
For I'm the lord's daughter of Ballycasteen.
Dmaj7 E
I'm the lord's daughter of honour, you see,
Dmaj7 E C#m F#m
Go little drummer, you're making too free."
[Verse 7]
F#m C#m F#m
So he put on his hat and he bade her farewell
F#m C#m
Saying "I'll send my soul down to heaven or hell.
Dmaj7 C#m
For with this long pistol that hangs by my side,
Dmaj7 E C#m F#m
I'll put an end to my own dreary life."

F#m E/G# Bm C#m
[Verse 8]
F#m
"Come back little drummer, now what do you mean,
F#m
For I do not want to be guilty of sin,
F#m
To be guilty of innocent blood for to spill.
F#m
Come back little drummer, I'm here at your will."
[Verse 9]
Bm C#m Dmaj7 F#m
"We'll hire a car and to Bansheer we'll go.
F#m C#m
There we'll be married in spite of our foes.
Dmaj7 C#m
But what can they say when it's over and done,
Dmaj7 E C#m F#m
But I fell in love with the roll of your drum?"
