[A]
[D] Oh me and me cousin one Arthur Mac cried As we went a-walkin' down [C#m] by the [D] seaside
We met Sergeant Napper and Corporal Pryde The day being [C#m] Christmas morning
[D] Good morning, good morning, the sergeant did cry [G] And the same to [D] you gentlemen [A] we did reply
Intending no harm we just meant to pass by [G] The day being [D] pleasant and charming
What says he me fine fellows if you will enlist It's ten guineas in gold I will [C#m] slip in your [D] fist
And crown the bargain for to take up [E] the [G] dust And drink the [D] king's health in the [A] morning
[D] For a soldier he leads a very fine life And he always is blessed [C#m] with a charming young
[D] While others rose of sorrow and [E] strife And slept off [D] in gruel in the morn
What says Arthur I wouldn't be proud of your [G] clothes For you only [D] lend out them [A] now as I suppose
[D] And you dare not change them one night if you dare [G] For you know you'll be ploughed [A] in the morn
[D] And we have no desire to take your [G] advance For all [D] of the dangers [F#] we'd not take the [D] chance
That you'd have no scruples and send us [E] to France Where you know we'd [D] be shot in the morn

Oh no says the sergeant if I hear one more word I quickly right now [E] will drought [D] me soul
And in tear bodies a strength will afford So now me young devils [A] take warning
[D] But Arthur and I we counted the odds [G] And we scarce [D] given time for to [A] draw their own dates
With our trusty chalet we bashed in their heads And paid them right smart in the morn
And the rusty old rapiers that hung by their sides We flung them as far as [A] we could in the [D] tide
Now take that ye devils bright Arthur McBride And temper your steel in the [A] morn
[D] And a little wee drummer we flapped in this pouch And we made a football of his [C#m] row
[D] He went into the ocean for to rock and to roll And bade it a tedious returning
Oh me and me cousin one Arthur McBride [E] As we went a-walking down by the [D] seaside
A-seeking good fortune and what might it [Gm] tide In being [D] on Christmas morning
