_ _ Well, in the merry month of May, now from me home I started, left the girls in [B] shoe and nearly broke, and had a salute at [C#] Father dear, kissed me darling mother, drank [F#] a pint of beer, [B] me grief and tears, to smothered enough [C#] to reap the corn and leaf where I was born, to order stout my [B] sword to banish ghosts and goads, and when ye [C#] pair of bros to rot, to love of the bogs and frighten [F#] all the dogs on the [B] rocky road, to double or one to [C#m] three, four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky [B] road,
and all the way to double or one [C#] to three, four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky road,
In Mull and Gard I played, I [C#m] rested them, so weary started by day [B] light, next morning laid in there,
I took a drop [C#] of the pure to keep me heart in strength, and that's the paddy's [B] cure when there is oomph a drink,
and they hear the [C#] lassie smile, laughing all the while, at me curious [B] style, to a touch a heart of blue,
and they ask me [C#] was I hired, and wages I required, till I was almost [B] tired of the rocky road,
to double or one to [C#] three, four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky [B] road,
and all the way to double or one to [C#] three, four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky road,
In Dublin next arrived I thought, it's such a pity to be so shill, and I [B] prided a view of that fine city,
and I [C#] took a stroll, all among the quality, when the liquor stowel [B] in the neat locality,
[C#m] something crossed me mind, when I looked behind, no wonder could I find, [B] upon me stick a [C#] warren,
acquiring after the rogue, said me, come this rogue, it wasn't much in [B] though,
I'd gone the rocky road, to double or one to three, [C#] four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky [B] road,
and all the way to double or one to [C#] three, four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky road,
From there I got away, me spirits never failing, landed [F#] on the [B] cage, just as the ship was sailing,
Captain [C#] at me rowed, sat at the old room hardy, when I jumped aboard [B] the cab, and fell from paddy,
down [C#m] among the pigs, did some hearty rigs, I paid some hearty jigs, [B] the water rowing me bubbling,
when I [C#m] fully had, I wished me self was dead, for I bet so far [B] and stared, on the rocky road,
to double or one to [C#] three, four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky [B] road,
and all the way to double or one to [C#] three, four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky road,
The boys have lived but two, well when we safely landed, call me [B] self the fool, I could no longer [C#] stand it,
blood began to boil, camp where I was new, was impoverished, old Erin's [B] Isle,
they began abusing her, [C#] ramming me, so I said, say me, shall I lay, lay, let lie, go away boys, we'll fly,
[B] and so I was, [C#m] a hobbling will, the low of her ray, the joy and the afraid, quickly cleared [B] the way,
for the rocky road, to double or one to three, four, [C#] five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky [B] road,
and all the way to double or one to [C#] three, four, five, hunt the herring, turn her down the rocky road.
