[Em] While [B]
[E] going to the fair of [B] Dingle, [C#m] One fine morning [A] last July,
[E] When going down the road [B] before me, [E] A red-haired girl [B] I chanced [E] to spy,
[Em] I went up to her, said, I, young [B] lady, My [C#m] donkey he will carry [A] too,
Well, [E] see this how you have [B] a donkey, [E] To the Dingle Fair [G] I'll ride [E] with you.
Now when we reached the town of [B] Dingle, [E] I took [C#m] her hand to say goodbye,
[A] When [E] a tinkerman stepped up [B] beside me, [G#m] And he felt in [B] me in my left [E] eye,
Keep your hands off her, a very [G#m] merry her, And I [A] will soon be right,
[E] We'll see the beast this very morning, Tonight we'll lie in a married bed.
Now [Em] I was feeling kind of [B] peevish, And [C#m] me poor old eye was sad [A] and sore,
[E] When I gently tapped him with [B] me hobnails, [E] And he threw back through Murphy's door,
Keep your hands off her, a very [G#m] merry her, And I [A] will soon be right,
[E] We'll see the beast this very morning, Tonight we'll lie in a married bed.

[E] When the donkey kicked him in the [B] kneecap, And he fell [B] down and broke [E] his jaw,
Keep your hands off her, a [G#m] very merry her, And I [A] will soon be [E] right,
We'll see the beast this very morning, Tonight we'll lie in a married bed.
Then he went off to find his [B] brother, [G#m] The biggest [C#m] man you ever [A] did meet,
[E] And he tapped me gently with his knuckles, And I was [B] minus two [E] fronty,
Keep your hands off her, a very [G#m] merry her, And [A] I will soon be right,
[E] We'll see the beast this very morning, Tonight we'll lie in a married bed.
Now the red-haired girl she kept [B] on smiling, [Em] I'll go with you young man, [C#m] she said,
We'll [E] forget the priest this very [B] morning,
[Em] And tonight we'll [F#] lie in [E] Murphy's shed.
