[Dm] _ [D] _ _ _ _ [Am] _
[C] _ [Dm] _ _ He was in the very morning,
so she went off from me home.
And as I left,
she got on [C] her shoes,
was sad [Dm] and broken,
and she covered me fat and near,
kissed me then,
and was a drank a pint [C] of beer.
Tears [Dm] and grief was what it was,
[C] and after she left [Dm] the car,
she [Dm] was a rival,
but a good little friend.
[C] Her [Dm] family's daughter,
governed [C] in Illy's new pair [C] of robes.
She packed [Dm] them over the bar,
[C] and right then and there
she locked her in the rocky [C] road.
She doubled and [Dm] one,
two, three, four, five.
Once a year,
she'd double and double the rocky [C] road,
all the way to trouble and [Dm] work for Illy's house.
In Mullingar the night,
her estinable were wary,
sad and quiet,
and [C] hate would fill her [Dm] bright.
And her eagerness,
and brothels and beer,
were the keeping fetters from sicking.
That's the paddy's [C] cure,
when every [Dm] dumber
would think of [C] deceiving.
The lass who [C] smiled,
laughing [Dm] all the while,
[C] had to be curious,
I would bet,
she [Dm] had a bubbling [C] ass.
I was [C] hired,
wages [Dm] I required,
till [C] I was almost out of the rocky road.
[C] She doubled and [Dm] one,
two, three, four, five.
Once a year,
she'd double and [Am] double the rocky [G] road,
all the way to trouble and [Dm] work for Illy's house.
And double and next arrived,
the party was ready to [C] be in,
so somebody died.
The view of [Dm] that fancy view
was that I'd not look at all.
All among the quality,
[C] wondrous was all our enemies.
[Dm] So currently [Dm] something grabbed me mind,
and I looked behind,
I [C] wondered what I'd find.
Upon me [Dm] thick,
powering and [Dm] firing,
I saw the [C] road,
said I'd be [Dm] found a [C] problem,
I'd look to know where the rocky road,
and double and [Dm] one,
two, three, four, five.
Once a year,
it turned to [Am] double the rocky road,
all the way to trouble and [Dm] work for Illy's house.
I said,
when God the Lord,
had me there,
I'd never fail,
and [C] none could harm me,
I'd be happy,
[Dm] if it were fair,
and got the knack below.
So I'd have no remedy,
when I jumped [C] the bar,
and I doubled [Dm] down,
her body.
[C] So when I wound [C] the feet,
the dates [Dm] were only rings,
[C] and then some hearty jiggle,
and I'd drink the water,
[Dm] and I'd be good,
and I wondered [Dm] what I'd find.
[C] Upon me thick,
[Dm] [C] powering and firing,
I saw the road,
said I'd be found a problem,
[Dm] I'd look to know where the rocky road,
two, three, four, five.
Once a year,
it turned to [Am] double the rocky road,
all the way to trouble and [Dm] work for Illy's house.
So I'd have no remedy,
when I wound the feet,
the dates were only rings,
and [C] then some hearty jiggle,
and I doubled [Dm] down, her body.
So I'd have no remedy,
when I jumped the bar,
and I doubled down,
So I'd have no remedy,
when [C] I jumped the bar,
and I [Dm] doubled down,
and I gave it [C] her a hummy boil,
[Dm] said I'd shed the [Dm] early eyelids,
but [C] all the boils were by,
and [Dm] I wound up double [Am] in,
to head the [Dm] laboratory,
join [Dm] me in the embrace,
[C] quickly clear the way for the rocky [Dm] road,
and I doubled [Dm] down,
one, two, three, four, five.
Once a year,
it turned to double the rocky [C] road,
all [Dm] the way to trouble [C] and work for [Dm] Illy's house. _ _ _ _
