[E] I had a first cousin called Arthur McBride, [A] He and I [E] took a stroll [B] down by the [A] seaside,
[E] A-seeking good fortune and what might be tied, T'was [B] just as the day [A] was a [B] -dawnin',
[E] Then after restin' [A] we both [B] took a tramp, We [A] met [E] Sergeant Harper and [A] Corporal Cramp,
[E] Besides the wee drummer who beat up for camp, With his rowdy dowdow in the morning.
[A]
[B]
[E] He says, my young fellows, if you will enlist, [A] A guinea
[E] quickly [B] shall have in [F#m] your fist,
[E] Besides a crown for to kick up the dust, And drink the [B] king's health [A] in the [B] morning.
[E] Had we been such fools as [A] to take [B] the advance, Though [A] we bit [E] a morn we [B] had to [A] run chance,
[E] We'd think it no scruple to send us to France, Where we would be killed in the morning.
[A] [B]
[E] He says, my young fellows, if I hear but one word, [A] I instantly [E] now will [B]
outwit [A] my sword,
[E] And into your bodies a strength will afford, So now my [B] gay devils [A] take [B] warning.
[E] But Arthur and I, [A] we took [B] in the odds, [A] We gave them [E] no chance for to launch out [F#m] their swords,
[E] Our whacking shillelaghs came over their heads, And paid them right smart in the morning.
[A]
[B] [E]
As for the wee drummer, we rifled his pouch, [A] And we made a [E] football of his rowdy [A]
dowdow,
[E] And into the ocean to rock and to row, And batted [B] as he is [A]
[B] returning.
[E] As for the eld'rye bear [A] that's hung by his [B] side, [A] We flung it [E] as far as [B] we could in [A] the tide,
[E] To the devil I pitch you, says Atham and Bride, To temper your steel in the morning.
