Verse 1
I (D major) had (G major) (A major) (D major) a first cousin
called Arthur McBride
He and (G major) I took a stroll (D major)
down (E minor) by the sea (G major) side
A (D major) -seeking good fortune
and what might betide
T 'was just as the daylight was (G major) dawning
(A major) And (D major) after resting we both (G major) took a tramp
(A major) We met (G major) Sergeant (D major) Harper in (E minor) Corporal Cramp
(G major) Besides (D major) the wee drummer
who beat up our camp
With his rowdy dow (E minor) -dow
in the morn (G major) (D major) in' (G major)
(A major) He said, (D major) me young fellows, if you will enlist
A (G major) guinea you (D major) quickly will (E minor) have in your fist
(G major) Besides (D major) a crown for to kick up the dust
And drink the king's health in the (G major) mornin'
(A major) Had (D major) we been such fools
as to take (G major) the advance,
(A major) The wee (G major) bit (D major) of morn we
had (E minor) to run chance, (G major)
For you (D major) think it no scruple
to send us to France,
Where we would be (E minor) killed
in the morn (G major) (D major) in'. (G major)
(A major) He said, (D major) me young fellows,
if I hear but one word,
I in (G major) stantly now (D major) will out (E minor) with my (G major) sword,
And (D major) into your bodies a strength (A major) will (D major) af ford,
So now my gay devils take warning, (G major)
(A major) But (D major) Ar thur and I,
we took (G major) in the odds. (A major)
We gave (G major) them no (D major) chance
for to launch (E minor) out their (G major) swords,
Or (D major) whacking shillelaghs came
over (A major) their head (D major) s,
And we paid them right smart (E minor)
in the morn (G major) ing. (A major)
(D major) (G major) (A major) As for the (D major) wee drummer,
we rifled (A major) his (D major) pouch,
And we made (G major) a foot (D major) ball
of his rowdy (E minor) dowtow,
(G major) And (D major) into the ocean to rock and to row,
And bad and metedious returning. (G major)
(A major) As (D major) for the old rapier that
hun (G major) g by his side, (A major)
We flun (G major) g it as far (D major) as we
(E minor) could in the tide, (G major)
To the (D major) devil I pitch you,
Arthur MacBride,
To temper your (E minor) steel in the morning. (G major) (D major) (G major) you
Arthur McBride
