Chords for Mick Moloney - Clancy"s Wooden Wedding

_ Five _ [D] years ago, last Sunday Paddy Clancy [A] took a wife,
[D] It was little Bridget Daly [A] who was fixing [D] him for life.
So he gave a wooden wedding, the event to [A] celebrate,
[D] And he sent out invitations [A] to his friends [D] both small and [Bm] great.
Now everyone was supposed to bring a present [E] made of wood,
[Bm] Some of the things they brought were bad and some were very [A] good,
[F#] But everyone he came he did the very best he [A] could.
When Clancy had a wedding [D] made of wood,
[A] Well there [D] were all kinds of wood brought to the house that night,
Soft wood and hard [A] wood and kindling [D] wood to light.
Wood and wooden [G] shavings enough [A] to fill the [A] bed,
Were brought at Clancy's house when he was five [D] years wed.
The first one to get there was [A] Pat de Hoolihan,
[D] He brought in a present, [A] a [D] Japanese fan.
Then came Maloney, [A] as neat as a pin,
[D] He brought a cradle [A] for to rock [D] the baby in.
[Bm] O'Brien brought a saw horse, handsomely engraved,
O'Toole he brought a cord of wood for which he didn't pay.
Murphy brought the clothespins [D] and Ryan brought the broom,
[A] It looked as though a lumberyard exploded in the room.
And there [D] was wood that came from China, [G] wood that [A] came from Spain,
[D] Wood from [A] Jerusalem across [D] the raging Maine,
Wood that came from Russia, sent [A] by the [D] star,
Wood from County [A] Limerick enough to build [D] a car.
[F#] Wood that came from Scotland, wood that [Bm] came from Wales,
Wood that came from England, wood that [A] came from [F#] Jails,
They passed around the whiskey [D] and they passed around the [A] ale,
When the glass it wasn't big enough, they used a wooden [D] pail.
Everyone was feeling good, no one was feeling [D] dry,
They all were in their glory [A] and the glory [D] it was high.
Someone asked Clancy, would [A] he sing the [D] song,
Clancy said he would, [A] but his [D] voice was [Bm] gone.
Up jumped Maloney and he gave a recitation,
All about the kinds of wood that grew in every nation,
He got her such a racket it was hard to keep it mum.
[A] O'Brien called Maloney an educated bum,
[D] So up jumped [G] Maloney and he hit him such [D] a whack,
_ Raised up a lump [A] in the middle [D] of his back,
That was the signal [G] and they all began to [A] fight,
[D] The women hollered murder and they said it wasn't right.
[Bm]
O'Brien threw the frying pot and then the frying pan,
Murphy threw the poker and he hit a [A] hula hand,
[Bm]
Patrick lost his false teeth and through the [D] window dove,
[A]
Maloney sat down on the red hot stove,
[D] There was all kinds of wood [G] were flying [A] through the air,
[D] Brady hit the gravy [A] with the handle [D] of the chair,
Murphy grabbed Sullivan [G] and threw him [A] on the [D] bed,
Stabbed him with the clothespin and left him there for dead.
[Bm] The police caught twenty-five and thirty got away,
They took them up before the judge the very [F] next day,
[Bm] The judge knocked them over as before him they stood,
He gave [A] them sixty days in jail, now they're all [D] sawn wood. _
