(A minor) Come all you bold fellers
Where'er you (G major) may be

There's the Sullivan brothers and
Big Jimmy (G major) Lou
Old Mose Gilbert and (A minor) Dandy (G major) Pat too (E major)

And we all (A minor) worked for

Verse 3
derry down
(A minor) One morning 'fore daylight Jim Lou
He got (G major) mad (A minor) knocked hell out
of (G major) Mitchell and
The boys was all (E major) glad
His wife, (A minor) she just stood there, and
The truth (G major) I will tell
She was (A minor) tickled to death to
(G major) See Mitchell catch (A minor) hell
Derry, down, down, down,
(G major) derry (A minor) down
Derry, down, down, down,
(G major) derry (A minor) down
Verse 4
Old Griffith he stood here
(G major) The crabby old Drake
(A minor) And a hand in the (G major) racket
We thought he would (E major) ake
But a couple of the (A minor) boys
(G major) Come and took him away
"Becripes" said (A minor) old Griffith
"I've (G major) nothing (A minor) to say"
Derry, down, down, (G major) down, (A minor) derry down
Verse 5
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
(A minor)
You can talk of your fashions
And styles to be (G major) seen
(A minor) But there's none like (G major) Nellie
The cook of nine (E major) teen
She's (A minor) short,
thick and stout
(G major) Without a mistake
And we (A minor) all call her Nellie
The (G major) belle of (A minor) Long Lake
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
Derry, down, down,
down, derry down
Well, my song's about over,
adieu to you (G major) all
Christmas is coming and I'm
Going to Glens (E major) Falls and, when I (A minor) get there
(G major) I'll go out on a spree
"Cause when (A minor) I get drunk, boys
(G major) The devil's in (A minor) me
Derry, down, down, down, (G major) derry (A minor) down
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
