A gentle Irishman mighty odd

With love for a liquor poor Tim was born

To help him on with his work every day

He'd a drop of the Craythor every morn'

B
One morning Tim was rather full
G#
His head felt heavy, which made him shake

Fell from the ladder and broke his skull

So they carried him home, his corpse to wake

A bottle of whiskey at his feet

And a gallon of porter at his head
