The Juice Of The Barley ----- Sean Dunphy + Lyrics Underneath Chords

_ _ _ Down in Waterford town on a cold winter's night
All the turf fires were burning [D] when I first [E] saw the light and [A] a drunken old [D] midwife went tipsy [A] with joy
As she danced round the floor with her slip of a boy singing bang in a moe-less [D] new gown
[A] _ And the juice [E] of the barley [A] for me
_ _ _ Now when I was a lad about eight years or so
With me books and me pencils to [D] school I [E] did go _ to the dirty old schoolhouse without any door
_ Where laid a [A] schoolmaster blind drunk [C#m] on the floor singing [E] bang in a moe-less new [D] gown
[A] And the juice [E] of the barley [A] for me _ _
Now at learning I wasn't a genius I'm thinking but I soon bet the master [E] entirely a drinking
Not [A] awake or a wedding for five miles around _ _
But meself in the corner was sure to be found singing bang in a moe-less new gown
_ [A]
And the juice [E] of the barley for [A] me _ _
Then one Sunday the preacher said I'd cook me goose _
Said you'll end up your [D] days with your neck [E] in a noose [A] and you dance a fine jig between heaven and hell _
And his words they did frighten me too far [E] to tell [A] singing bang in a moe-less [D] new gown
_ [A] _
And the juice [E] of the barley [A] for me _
_ So the very next day when the dawn it did break _ I went to the church to [D] pledge [E] for the take and
_ [A] There in a room they all sat in a bunch _
Round the big [Dm] roaring fire [A] drinking tumblers a punch singing bang in a moe-less new gown _
And the juice [E] of the barley [A] for me _
_ So from that day to this I have wandered alone
I'm a jack of all trades and I [E] master of none
_ With the sky for me roof and [D] the earth for [A] me floor
_ And I'll [D] finish my days drinking [A] whiskey galore singing bang in a moe [D]-less new gown
[A] _ And the juice [E] of the barley for me _ _ _
