_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
[G] Oh
Me and [D] me cousin [G] one of them I bright [C] as we [D] went
[G] _
Walking [C] down by the seaside
_ [G] Now mark [D] what follow _ [G] and what did be tied?
_ For it being on Christmas [D] _ _ morning _ _ out for
_ Recreation [G] we went on a tram _ [C] and we met _ [G] sergeant upper and [C] _
corporal
Vamp [G] and a little [D] wheat or more
[G] _ Intended to count for the day being pleasant [D] and _ [G] charming _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Good
Morning [D] good morning [G] the sergeant did cry. _
I'm [C] the [G] same to you gentlemen [C] that we did reply
_ _ [G] _ [D] Intending no harm, [G] but meant to pass by for it being on Christmas [D] _ _ morning
_ What [G] says he my [D] final fellows [G] if you will enlist?
_ [C] It's ten [G] guineas and gold that [C] will slip in your fist _
[G] And [D] a crown and a bargain [G] for to kick up the dust _ and drink the king's health [D] in the _ _ [G] morning
_ _ [D] _ For [G] a [D] soldier he leaves [G] a very fine life _
[C] And he [G] always is blessed [C] with a charming young wife
_ [G] And he pays all [D] his debts [G] without sorrow or strife
_ And always lives pleasant and [D] charming _ _ _
[G] And a soldier [D] he always is [G] decent and clean _ and the [C] finest [G] of clothing
_ [C] He's constantly seen
_ [G] While [D] other poor fellows go [G] dirty and mean
_ I'm so fun finger _ in the
[D] _ _ [G] morning
_ _ _ _ Well _
_ [D] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [C] _ _ [G] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [D] _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[D] _ _ _ [G] says Arthur [Dm] I wouldn't be [G] proud of your clothes
[C] For you've only [G] the land of [C] them as I suppose
_ _ [G] [D] And you dare not change them [G] one night for you know if [C] you do you'll [G] be flogged in the [D] morning
_ _ _ [G] And although [D] that we [G] are single and free [C] we take [G] great delight [C] in our own
Country _ [G]
and we have [D] no desire _ [G] strange places to _ see
Although the tour offers [D] are _ _ [G] charming
_ _ _ And we have [D] no desire to [G] take your advance
_ [C] All hazards and [G] dangers we [C] barred your own [G] chance
But you would have no [D] scruples [G] for to send us to France
_ Well, we would get shot [D] without _ _ _ [G] warning
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh
Now since the _ sergeant I'll have no such shot and [C] I neither will [G] take it [C] from
Svalpin or brat
_ [G] Or if you insult [D]
me with [G] one other word _ _
I'll cut off your heads [D] in the morning
_ _ And [G] then Arthur [D] and I [G] we soon drew our odds
And [C] we scarce [G] gave them time for [C] to draw their own blades
_ [G] when a trusty [D] shillelagh
[G] Came over their heads
_ And bowed them take that as [D] fair _ _ [G] warning _
[D] _ _ _ And our old rusty revisit [G] hung by their side [C] we flung [G] them as far as [C] we could in the tide
_ _ [G] Now take them [D] on devils [G] cried Arthur _ McBride
And _ tempered their edge [D] in the morning
_ _ And [G] a little [D] we drummer [G] we _ flattened his pow
And [F] we made [C] a [G] _
football [C] of his rowdy dow-dow
[D] Threw it in the tide for to rock [G] and to roll
_ _ And by the tedious _ _ [D] _ _ [G] returning
_ _ [D] _ _ And [Bm] we haven't [D] no money paid [G] them off in cracks
And we paid no respect to their two bloody [C] backs
_ [G] For we [D] lathered them there like a pair [G] of wet sacks
_ And left them for dead [D] in the morning _ _ _
[G] And so to [Dm] conclude and [G] to finish disputes
_ _ [C] We [G] obliged and they asked if [C] they wanted recruits
_ [D] For we were the lads that would give them hard [G] clothes _
And bid them [D] look sharp in the _ _ _ [G] morning _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ [D] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Em] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [D] _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Oh me and [Dm] me cousin [G] one Arthur _ _ McBride
[C] As we went [G] walking [C] down by the _ seaside
_ [G] Now mark what [D] followed [G] and what did be tied _
For it being on Christmas _
