At Arkey's Head in a Tannish Yard Three young men were drawing hard
A poor old horse it fixed to kill Befell the task to dexterous Bill
Poor old horse, poor old horse Hear what they did to the poor old horse
His palms were on the hilt of the axe Delivered such a horrible blow
The horse emerged a strangled cry He clansted just above [Abm] the eye
[Bb] Poor [Ab] old horse, poor old horse Hear what they did to the poor old horse
And now they put it out of pain Our Billy took another [Abm] aim
[Ab] The horse smashed up the man he cursed [Db] For that [Abm] second blow was much like the first
[Abm]
Poor old horse, poor old horse [Ab] Hear what they did to the poor old horse
He cut off the pin on his head And then he hurt the body instead
The air grew cloudy with breath so hot A man and beast all met
Poor old horse, poor old horse Hear what
[Ab] they did to the poor old horse
I'll try no more conceited Bill So upset Ned could test his skill
He whacked the poor thing on the nose [Bb]
He [Ab] sprained his wrist and pulled [N] his coat
Poor old horse, poor old horse Hear what they did to the poor old horse
The foe man came then with his knife Determined for to take its life
He took his aim and thrust it home Alas he hit the collar
Poor old horse, poor old horse [Eb]
[Ab]
[N] They broke its leg with a rusty spade
Then all upon it heavily laid To quell the struggle each did their part
Until the blade had reached its heart
Poor old horse, poor old horse Hear what they did to the poor old horse
Now each he goes his separate path For a cup full of ale or a nice hot bath
A kiss on the lips of a wife newly [Db] wed Or a look at the poor beast sleeping in the head
[F]
Poor old horse, poor [Ab] old horse Hear what they did to [C] the poor old horse
[Db] [Ab] [D]
[Db] [N]
