Mrs.
McGrath, the [Ab] sergeant said,
Would you [Eb] like a soldier of your son Ted?
With a scarlet coat and a big cock [Bb] tat,
Mrs.
[Fm] McGrath, would you like that?
With your two rifle little [Ab] DA,
Two [Eb] rifle rifle rifle.
With your two rifle [Bb] little DA,
Two [Fm] rifle rifle rifle.
Now Mrs.
McGrath lived on the [Ab] shore,
And after [Eb] seven years or more,
She spied a ship coming to the bay,
With her [Fm] son from far away.
Oh Captain dear, where have you [Ab] been?
You've been [Eb] sailing the Mediterranean.
Have you news of my son Ted?
Is he [Fm] living or is he dead?
With your two rifle little [Ab] DA,
Two rifle [Eb] rifle rifle.
With your two rifle little DA,
Two [Fm] rifle rifle rifle.
Then came [F] Ted without any legs,
[Ab] And in their [Eb] place two wooden pegs.
She kissed him a dozen times or two,
And said, my [Fm] God Ted, is it you?
Now were you drunk or were you [Ab] blind
When you left your [Eb] two fine legs behind?
Or was it walking upon the sea
That wore your [Fm] two fine legs away?
With your two rifle little [Ab] DA,
Two [Eb] rifle rifle rifle.
With your two rifle little DA,
Two rifle [Fm] rifle rifle.
With your two rifle little [Ab] DA,
Two [Eb] rifle rifle rifle.
With your two rifle little DA,
Two [Fm] rifle rifle rifle.
Now I wasn't drunk and I wasn't [Ab] blind when I left my two [Eb] fine legs behind.
A cannonball on the 5th of [Bb] May tore [Fm] my two fine legs away.
My teddy boy, the widow [Ab] cried, your two fine [Eb] legs were your mother's pride.
Stumps of a tree won't do it all, why didn't you run [Fm] from the cannonball?
Too high for Italy, [Ab] too [Eb] high, too high, too
[Fm] high.

I'd rather have my son as he used to be than the king of [Fm] America and his whole navy.
Too high for Italy, [Ab] too [Eb] high, too high, too high.
