[E]
Oh, my name is Michael and I've lived [A] in Dublin all my [E] life.
My father was a [A] farmer and my [B] mother was the [E] farmer's wife.
They raised them up a family of kids to number 21, of which I am [A] the youngest and my blessed
[E] father's only son.
Now living with so many girls, you'd think my hair would be in curls.
[A] You'd think I'd wear a scarf and have my [B] earrings set with pretty furrows.
[E]
But I am a master of a man with manly passion, and I always kiss the girls in a very manly fashion.
I wear a manly mustache and I drink [A] me whiskey manly like.
[E] And all me friends will warn [A] you not to pick a row with [E] manly Mike.
Now last week I kissed the sheriff's wife.
She kissed me back with little strife.
She swore it [A] was the finest [B] kiss she'd ever had in all her life.
[E] Oh but the sheriff saw the kissing and he swore upon his station.
He'd use his legal [A] powers to change my [E] situation.
He went to the magistrate and told him of my rambage.
When drunk, I fell [A] upon his wife and took [E] unfair advantage.
He swore that I had pulled a knife and put it to his pretty wife [A] and charged her for
a kiss or else I'd [B] disengage her very life.
[E] Sure another uncle charges he grew up without [A] true evidence [E] and thus convinced the [A] magistrate
that I [E] should pay a recompense.
Well I had to stand the trial because I [A] refused to pay the fine.
I smiled when it turned out the magistrate, [E] he was a friend of mine.
Your honor, Mr.
Cassidy, if you have the capacity, I'll give [A] back the kiss I stole and [Em] thus prove [B] my veracity.
Well [E] the sheriff's wife was willing and [Em] the sheriff had to curse [G#] and swear as I kissed
the [F#m] sheriff's wife in the [B] courtroom from the witness [E] chair.
Well ma'am says the magistrate, is that [A] the kiss you lost before?
[E] Well she she, I'm not quite [A] sure.
Perhaps if I could try [E] one more.
And then she kissed me without ration.
A kiss of carnal passion.
[Am] Tell all the girls we're [B] blushing and the sheriff's teeth were gnashing.
[E] Hurrah proclaim the magistrate a [A] clearer case I never [E] saw.
For both of you are [A] guilty of crimes [E] not covered by the law.
To sentence you at all or to [A] render a conviction, [E] as much as some might like [A] it, it's not [B] in my [E] jurisdiction.
So I said to the gallery, I'll spend the next month's salary to celebrate across the street
in the Tavern of Old Mallory.
[B] [E] Sure and anyone who comes you can help me drink away my sin.
And everyone's [G] invited [A] but do [E] not let the sheriff in.
Well we all rushed across the street in high [A] anticipation [E] to celebrate the famous justice
of the Irish nation.
The word went round the drinks were free and people came from miles to see the farmer's
son [A] who'd won the day and [B] kissed his wiggled birthday.
[E] Well by twos and by threes we all rushed into the drinking hall.
Young men [B] and old men and girls who were not [E] men at all.
And we drank all [Em] the beer that my monthly wage [A] would cover.
[E] Then Dale said that he would pay for yet another.
And when that was finished I'll be bound.
Each other man put up a pound.
And we drank until we couldn't lift a [B] glass to drink another round.
[E] And then we all staggered home by the light [A] upon the summer moon.
[E] And no one that was there that night got out of bed till afternoon.
And that was the day I'll remember [A] fondly all my life.
[E] The day that made me famous for [C#m] the kissing [B] of the sheriff's [E] wife.
