[C#] Well, in the merry months of May, now from me home I started,
Left the girls in [B] two, and nearly broke, And had a salute at Father [C#] Dear.
Kissed me darling mother, drank a pint of [C#] beer,
Me grief and tears disparted, and off to reap the corn and leaf,
Where I was born, to the stout, max-hearted, banlished coast.
And you pair of bros to rattle over the bogs, And frighten all the dogs [B] on the rocky roads,
And all the ways to double and make for all the girls.
In Mull and Gar that night I rested, [C#m] limps a weary star,
That by day light, [B] next morning leading there, He took a drop of [C#] the pure to keep me heart and strength,
And that's the paddy's cure [B] when there is oomph a-drinking.
They heard a [C#] lassie smile, laughing all the while, At me curious style, to [B] touch her heart.
A-problem they asked me was I [C#] hired, And wages I required, till I was almost [B] tired.
And I rattle over the rocky roads, to double and one, two, three, four, [C#] five,
Hunt a hare and turn them down the rocky [B] roads, And all the ways to double and make for all the girls.
In Dublin next arrived I, and it's such a pity to be so,
So on the drive to view a pub and chit-chat, and I took a stroll,
All among the quality bumble, it was stowal, In the neat locality, [C#m] soothing grass we mined.
When I looked behind, no wonder could I find, [B] Upon me stood the warren, a [C#]-quaring, after the rogue,
Sat me on the sprogue, it wasn't much in [B] Bowag, On the rocky roads, to double and one, two, three, [A#] four, five,
Hunt a hare and turn them down the rocky [C#] roads, And all the ways to double [A#] and make for all the [C#] girls.
From there I got away, me spirit's health was failing, And it [B] undecayed, just as the ship was sailing.
Captain at me [C#m] rowed, sat at the old room party, When I jumped [B] aboard a cab and flew for paddy.
[C#] Down among the pigs, did some hearty rigs, I paid some hearty jigs, the [G#m] water,
And me bubble, and when I fully had, I wished me self was dead, or better far instead.
[B] On the rocky roads, to double and one, two, three, [C#] four, five, Hunt a hare [A#] and turn them down the rocky roads,
And all the ways to double and make for all the girls.
The boys have lived but few, well when we safely landed, Called me self with few, well I could no longer stand it,
[C#m] Blood began to boil, temper I was new, as I'm poor, and old Erin's I'll.
[B] They began abusing her, [C#] and me soul, so I me shall lay, lay I'll apply,
All my boys were [B] by, and so I was, a [C#m] hobbling will, a lower hurray, the joy and the afray,
Quickly cleared the [B] way for the rocky road, to double and one, two, three, [C#] four, five,
Hunt a hare and turn them down the rocky [B] road, And all the ways to double and make for all the girls.
