C
F
G
C
Oh, my name it is Nell,
and the truth part to tell.
F
I come from Coat Hill,
C
Am
G
which I'll never deny.
C
I had a fine drake,
and I die for his sake,
F
C
that my grandmother left me,
G
and she gone to die.
C
G
F
The dear little fellow,
C
F
his legs they were yellow,
C
Am
He could fly like a swallow,
G
or swim like a hake,
C
Till some dirty savage took
grace his white cabbage,
F
Most wantonly murdered
C
G
C
me beautiful drake.
Now his neck it was green,
almost fit to be seen
F
C
Am
He was fit for a queen of the highest degree
G
C
His body was white,
and it would you delight
F
C
He was plump, fat and heavy,
and brisk as a bee
F
G
F
He was wholesome an d sound,
he would weigh twenty pound
C
F
And the universe round,
G
he would roam for his sake
C
G
But look to the robber,
C
be he drunk or sober,
F
C
That murder'd Nell Flaherty's
G
C
beautiful drake.
May his spade never dig,
may his sow never pig,
F
May each hair in his wig
C
Am
G
be well thriced with the flail,
C
May his door never latch,
may his roof have no thatch,
F
C
May his turkeys not hatch,
may the rat set his mail.
F
May every old fairy from
G
C
Cork to Dun Laoghaire
F
C
G
Dip him snug and airy in river or lake
C
That the eel and the trout
they may dine on the snout
F
Of the monster that murdered
Am
G
C
Nell Flaherty's drake
May his pig never grunt,
may his cat never hunt
F
C
May a ghost ever haunt him
G
at dead of the night
C
May his hens never lay,
may his horse never neigh
F
C
May his goat fly away like
G
an old paper kite
C
F
That the flies and the fleas
G
F
Am
may the wretch ever tease,
C
May the piercing March breeze
Am
G
make him shiver and shake,
C
May a lump of his stick
raise the bumps fast and thick,
F
On the monster that murdered
C
G
C
Nell Flaherty's drake.
Well, the only good news
that I have to infuse
F
C
Is that old Paddy Hughes and
young Anthony Blake,
G
C
Also Johnny Dwyer and Corny McGuire,
F
They each have a grandson
C
G
C
of my darlin' Drake.
F
Me treasure hath dozens of
C
nephews and cousins,
And one I must get
Am
C
G
or me heart it will break.
C
For to set me mind easy
or else I'll run crazy,
So ends the whole song
G
C
of Nell Flatterty's Drake.

Got me back into playing
Tuliketsune
“I got this app to tune an old guitar, and noticed it has a feature that autoscrolls as I play chords to famous songs. For some reason, this was a lot more motivating for me than any other way of practicing guitar. Now I'm actually practicing and remembering the names of chords 🙂”
