Verse 1
O'Sullivan (G major) John
to the road you're gone, (F major)
far away (D major) from your native (G major) land,
You've gon with the
tinker's daughter (F major) (D major)
far along (G major) the road to roam,
O'Sullivan John you wont (F major) stick it long (G major)
till your belly will soon be slack,
As you roam the road with a mighty loan, (F major)
and a tool (G major) box on your back.

(G major)
I met Katie Coffee with her neat baby, (F major)
behind (G major) (D major) on her back strapped (G major) on,
She'd an old ash plant (F major) in her hand (G major)
to drive the donkey along,
Enquiring at every farmers (F major) house (G major) , as
along the road she passed,
And it's where would you get an
old pot to mend, (F major)
and (G major) where would she get an ass.

There's a hairy ass fair in the County Clare (F major)
in a place (G major) (D major) they call Spancil Hill,
(G major) Where my brother James got
a wrap (F major) of a (G major) haimes,
and poor Paddy they tried to kill,
They loaded him up in an old ass (F major) and cart
while (G major) Kate and big Mary looked on,
Ah, bad luck to the day that I went away,
(F major) to (G major) (F major) (D major)
(G major) (F major) (G major)
(F major) (G major) (F major)
(G major) join (F major) (G major)
with the (F major) (G major) (F major) (D major) (G major)
