[G] I had a first cousin called Arthur MacRae He and I took us to roll down by the seaside
A-seeking good fortune and what might be tight
Plus justice the day was adorned And after a restin' we both took it around
We met Sergeant Harper and Corporal Graham Beside the wee drummer who beat up a cam
By the rowdy dowdow of the mornin' [D]
[G] He says, my both are low, said you will [C] enlist
[G] Back to me I quickly will get in your quest Beside the grower to kick off the dust
And drink the king's health in the mornin' For a soldier he leads a very fine life
He always is bled for this yarmin' young wife And he pays all his debt with a sorrow or strife
And always lives happy and jarmin'
[D]
[G] Oh now me both, Sergeant, we are not for sale We'll make a such bargain and your prime won't avail
We're not tired of our country, we don't care to say Although that your offer is [D] [G] jarmin'
But if we've been such fools as to take the advance That's right, bloody slender would [D] be [G] our poor chance
For the queen would be scruple to send us to France Where we would be shot without warning
[D]
[G] Oh now me both fellows, if I hear but one word I instantly know, and out with my sword
And into your bodies a strength will afford So now my gay pebble take warning
For that run I will charge
We gave them no chance but to launch out their sword With our whacking still they came over their head
And paid their right smile in the mornin'
[D] As [G] for the wee drumper we rifled his pouch We made a foy ball of his rowdy dow-dow
And into the ocean to rug and to row And by the net he didst return him
As for the old raker that hung by his side We flung him as far as we could in the tide
To the devil I pitch his aside for my pride And tell him we're stealin' the mornin'
