Verse 1
Pulled me in because
C
G
of what Ar thur McBride
As we went a -walkin'
C
G
the sergeant did cry
C
G
Am
For it'd be an old Christmas morning
G
And a soldier, he always is decent and clean
C
G
In the finest of clothing
Am
G
he's constantly seen
While other poor fellows
look dirty and mean
C
G
C
And sup off and gruel in the morning
G
C
Says Arthur, I wouldn't be
C
G
For you've only a lend of them,
for one night that you know
C
G
If you do, you'll be flogged
Am
G
in the mornin'
C
G
And although that we are single and free
C
G
We take great delight in
C
G
strange faces to see
G
Am
G
s are charming
Oh no, says the sergeant,
I'll have no such chat
C
G
And I neither will take it from
Am
G
Spalking nor Bratton
C
G
For if you insult me with one other word
C
G
Am
I'll cut off your head in the morning
we soon drew our odds
C
G
And we scarce gave them time
C
G
Am
And bade them take that as fair warning
hung by their sides
And we flung them as far as
C
G
cried Arthur McBride
C
G
Am
And temper their edge in the mornin'
we flattened his pouch
And we made a football
of his rowdy dow -dow
And threw it in the tide
for to rock and to roll
Am
G
C
G
And bid him a tedious returnin'
Oh me and me cousin
what are the McBride
C
G
Am
As we went walking down by the seaside
C
G
Am
For it bein' a Christmas mornin'
G
