[B] [N] Song is actually a sort of a rakes progress
music
Please God if you can get it it says
Bonya on bow is an gown and the juice of the barley for me
Which means the milk of the cow is all right for the car
But the juice of the barley [B] in the [E] sweet County limerick one cold [B] winters a night
All the fires were born [E] when I first [F#] saw the light [B] and
the drunken old midwife [E] when [B] tipsy with joy
[F#m] As she [G#m] danced around the floor with [F#] her slip of a body
[B] [E] [B]
[F#] [B] Well when I was a gossam [E] of eight [B] years or so
With me turf and me [E] primer to school [F#] I did go [B] to a ducky old [G#m] schoolhouse without [B] any door
Where a lady schoolmaster blind drunk [F#] on
At [B] [E] [B]
[F#] [B] the [N]
learning I wasn't such a genius I'm thinking
But I soon bet the master [E] entirely [F#] not [B] awake or a wedding [E] for five miles [B] around
But myself in the corner was sure [F#m] to be
[B]
[E] [B] One [F#] [B]
Sunday the priest read me out from the author [E] saying you'll end up your days with your [F#] neck in a hole
[B] And you'll dance a fine jig [E] between heaven [B] and hell and his words they did frighten me the [F#] truth
So [B] [E] [B]
[F#] [B] the very next morning as [G#m] the [B] dawn it did break I
Went down to the best three [E] the pledge for [F#] today
[D#] [B] and there in that room
[E] Sat the priests [B] in a bunch
Round [C#] a big roaring fire drinking [F#] tumblers
[B]
[E] [B] Well from that day to this [E] I have wandered [B] alone
I'm a jack of all trades [E] and a master of
[F#] With [B] a sky on me room
[E] Later for [B] me floor
And I'll dance out me [F#] days drinking whiskey galore
