[Verse 1]
D#m
One fine summer's morning, both gallant and gay,
D#m
Twenty-four ladies went out on the quay,
D#m
And a regiment of soldiers did soon pass them by,
D#m
G# drummer and one of them soon caught his eye.
[Verse 2]
D#m A#m D#m
He went to his comrades and to them did say,
D#m A#m
"Twenty-four ladies I saw yesterday,
Bmaj7 A#m
Oh, and one of those ladies she has me heart won,
Bmaj7 C# A#m D#m
And if she denies me then surely I'm done."
[Verse 3]
D#m A#m D#m
"Go off to this woman and tell her your blight
D#m A#m
Tell her she's wounded your poor heart inside.
Bmaj7 A#m
Go and tell her she's wounded your poor heart, full sore,
Bmaj7 C# A#m D#m
And if she denies you what can you do more?"
[Verse 4]
D#m A#m D#m
So early next morning this young man arose,
D#m A#m
And he dressed himself up in a fine suit of clothes,
Bmaj7 A#m
With a watch in his pocket and a cane in his hand,
Bmaj7 C# A#m D#m
He saluted those ladies as he walked down the strand.
[Interlude]
D#m A#m
[Verse 5]
D#m A#m D#m
Well he walked up to her and he says "Pardon me,
D#m A#m
Pardon me lady for making so free,
Bmaj7 A#m
Me fine honored lady, you have me heart won,
Bmaj7 C# A#m D#m
And if you deny me I'm surely undone."
[Verse 6]
D#m A#m D#m
"Go off little drummer, now what do you mean?
D#m A#m/C# A#m
For I'm the lord's daughter of Ballycasteen.
Bmaj7 C#
I'm the lord's daughter of honour, you see,
Bmaj7 C# A#m D#m
Go little drummer, you're making too free."
[Verse 7]
D#m A#m D#m
So he put on his hat and he bade her farewell
D#m A#m
Saying "I'll send my soul down to heaven or hell.
Bmaj7 A#m
For with this long pistol that hangs by my side,
Bmaj7 C# A#m D#m
I'll put an end to my own dreary life."
[Instrumental]

D#m C#/F G#m A#m
[Verse 8]
D#m
"Come back little drummer, now what do you mean,
D#m
For I do not want to be guilty of sin,
D#m
To be guilty of innocent blood for to spill.
D#m
Come back little drummer, I'm here at your will."
[Verse 9]
G#m A#m Bmaj7 D#m
"We'll hire a car and to Bansheer we'll go.
D#m A#m
There we'll be married in spite of our foes.
Bmaj7 A#m
But what can they say when it's over and done,
Bmaj7 C# A#m D#m
But I fell in love with the roll of your drum?"
