Key: Eb major
Verse 1
called A Jug of Punch.
Punch is made here in America,
apparently, with rum or something
like that.
But in Ireland,
it's naturally enough
made with Irish whiskey.
You have a glass and a spoon,
You don't really need the hot water,
either. but it's a lovely drink anyway
and this is a song
that an old man might sing in the evening
an old man whose whole life
had been sweetened
by the drinking of punch
and he sort of growls it out one
evening
Eb
It starts out very quietly and very poetically
and rapidly deteriorates
like a good night of drinking.
A jug of punch
when they're in tune.
Bb
Eb
Anyway, all good people
should join
in the chorus of this song,
anybody who's ever tasted punch.
And now we're going to
do a pleasant evening
in the month of June,
Bb
Eb
as I was sit ting with my glass and spoon,
a small bird sat on an ivy bunch,
D
Eb
and the song he sang
was the jug of punch.
Too -ra -loo -ra -loo,
too -ra -loo -ra -lay,
Bb
Eb
Too -ra -loo -ra -loo, too -ra -loo -ra -lay.
A small bird sat on an ivy bunch,
And the song he sang
was the jug of punch.
What more diversion can a man desire
Bb
Eb
Than to sit him down by a snot or fire
Upon his knee a pretty wench,
Bb
Eb
Aye, and on the table a jug of hunch.
Ab
To -ra -loo -ra -loo, to -ra -loo -ra -lay,
Eb
Bb
Eb
To -ra -loo -ra -loo, to -ra -loo -ra -lay.
Let the doctors come with all their aft,
Bb
Eb
of a jug of punch.
And too -da -loo -da -loo,
Eb
Bb
Too -da -loo -da -loo,
And if I get drunk, oh, well,
the money's beyond,
I've shown my fiddle hand,
G
Ab
I'll rosin my bow,
G
Eb
Ab
And I'll be wel
Eb
Gm
come wherever I go.
Eb
Bb
Eb
Toodle -oodle -oo, toodle -oodle -ay.
I've shown my fiddle hand,
And when I'm dead, I undid my grave
Bb
Eb
No costly tombstone will I have
Just lay me down in my native peat
Eb
Bb
Toodle -oodle -oo, toodle -oodle -ee
Eb
Bb
Eb
Toodle -oodle -oo, toodle -oodle -ee
Eb
Bb
Eb
With a jug of horns at
Give it up again lads!
