she smiled and she said,
Ah Johnny, lovely Johnny down [B] today.
[E]
Oh, well when I heard my father say
[A] That he'd rather [E] see me dead than buried in the clay.
Sooner to [B] be married than [E] when he runs away
On the lovely sweet banks of the road.

Well in these [E] we are free and

[E] When we came here first, say 25 years ago or whatever it was,
I mean the whole folk thing was sort of much younger and more.
Yes, you couldn't plug in and you couldn't do all that.
That was at the time when
[Am] Bob Dylan was
things thrown at him in Woodstock for plugging in.
And the same thing happened here to an Irish band.
Because they were all shouting, [E] you know, [Am] faith.
It's not pure folk.
It's not [C] amplifier.
I think it's become less precious.
[G] Which is good because it means you can open up.

On the fall of July 1800
[C] [G] We left the sweet [D] home of Cornwall.

[G] [D]
[G] Cheaply chambered glass
In 57 [D] man
And a quarter of the [G] iron.
We had one million bags in the van
[C] So they go right [G] there with two million barrels
[D] Of [G] millisized cement
Blind [C] horses [D] hurt

There was a man named Hugh
Who played hard when [C] he flew
[G] He [D]
[G] was simple with skill
For he smacked [C] big quadrille
[D] And the duts turned with [G] blue blood
He smacked when he coughed
[D] He would pop off the wall
[G] And he rowled and danced
[D]

[C] [D] And he sang as if the [G] Irish know

From the banks [C] of the Leeds

[G] There was the meeting of the cocks
There was scarce [C] civil work
[D] And a man called [G] Whispy called hello
The slugger, the fool who [D] had
[G] [D]
[G] [C]
[D] [G]
We had sex
And the window [C] broke
