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

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
Em
D
G
D
And bid him a tedious returnin'
Oh me and me cousin
what are the McBride
G
D
Em
As we went walking down by the seaside
G
D
Em
For it bein' a Christmas mornin'
