I was going over [Bm] the garden every morning, [G] and I couldn't help but smile at [D] his bloody beard.
I thought he was a big star, [Bm] I'd never seen such a big figure,
[G] Six man, a man, a little over [D] four, he was a whole machine.
[A] I sure ain't gonna do that [D] now.
I called the daddy [G]-o, I called the daddy [D]-o, there's a whiskey in the beer.
I counted out his money, [Bm]
it made a pretty penny,
[G] I put it in me pocket [D] and I took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore [Bm] that she never would defeat [G] me.
But the devil take the women [D] for dinner, can't be easy, [A] but sure ain't gonna do that now.
[D]
I called the daddy [G]-o, I called the daddy [D]-o, there's a whiskey in the beer.
I went down to my train [Bm] for a far to take a [G] slumber,
Grabbed a golden jewels [D] and for sure it was no wonder,
But Jenny drew me [Bm] charges and she filled them up with water,
[G] Then sent for a camping barrel [D] to be ready for the slaughter,
[A] But sure ain't gonna do that [D] now.
I called the daddy [G]-o, I called the daddy [D]-o, there's a whiskey in the beer.
There's some take the light [Bm] in the carriages a-rolling,
[G] Others take the light [D] in the Harley at the bowling,
But I take the light [Bm] in the juice of the bar,
[G] And pour it pretty fair [D] late in the morning,
Right in there in [A] the sheriff's pocket, you never [D] know.
I called the daddy [G]-o, I called the daddy [D]-o, there's a whiskey in the beer.
And if anyone can aid me, [Bm] take my collar in the army,
[G] I can find a station [D] and park a red Ferrari,
And if he'll go with me, [Bm] we'll go rolling in Kilkenny,
And [G] I'm sure he'll treat me better than [D] me only sporting Jenny.
But [A] sure ain't gonna do that [D] now.
I called the daddy [G]-o, I called the daddy [D]-o, there's a whiskey in the beer.
[A] And I'm sure ain't gonna do that [D] now.
I called the daddy [G]-o, I called the daddy [D]-o, there's a whiskey in the beer.
