Red Haired Mary Chords by The Clancy Brothers

_ _ [Em] _ _ _ I'm sure you all [N] know what Tinker's are.
[E] You're looking at four of them.
They're traveling people.
They have no homes to go to, ever.
But anyway, here's a song about one of the Tinker ladies.
They called her Red-Haired [Bm] Mary.
_ _ [Em] _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _
_ _ _ [Bm] _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ While going [F#m] to the [B] fair of Dingle
[E] One fine [A] morning last July
_ [E] When going down the road [B] before me
[E] A red-haired [B] girl I chanced [E] to spy
I went up to her and said,
Aye, [B] young lady, [C#m] my donkey he will [A] carry too
[E] Well, see this how you [B] have a donkey
To the [E] Dingle Fair [B] I'll [E] ride with you
Now when we reached the town of [B] Dingle
[C#m] I took her hand to [A] say goodbye
When [E] a Tinker man stepped up [B] beside me
[E] And he looked at [B] me in [E] my left eye
Keep your hands off [C#m] Red-Haired Mary
Or I [A] will stone you
[E] We'll see the priest this very morning
Tonight we'll lie in a night bed
Now I was feeling [B] kind of peevish
[C#] And me poor old eye was [A] sad and sore
[E] And I gently tapped him [B] with me [Em] hobnails
[E] And he looked back through Murphy's door
Keep your hands off Red-Haired [C#m] Mary
Or I [A] will soon be [E] wet
We'll see the priest this very morning
Tonight we'll lie in a night bed
A policeman came around the [B] corner
[E] And he told me I [A] had broke the law
When [E] the donkey kicked him in the [B] kneecap
[E] And he fell down [Bm] and broke [E] his jaw
Keep your hands off Red-Haired [C#m] Mary
Or I [A] will soon be wet
[E] We'll see the priest this very morning
Tonight we'll lie in a night bed
Then he went off to [B] find his brother
The [C#] biggest [A] man you ever did meet
_ [E] And he tapped me gently with his knuckles
And I was minus two front teeth
Keep your hands off Red-Haired [C#m] Mary
Or [A] I will soon be [E] wet
We'll see the priest this very morning
Tonight we'll lie in a night bed
Now the Red-Haired girl, she [B] kept on smiling
_ _ [E] I'll go with you young [A] man, she said
[E] We'll forget the priest this very [B] morning
_ [E] And tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed
Keep your hands off Red-Haired [C#m] Mary
Or I [A] will soon be wet
[E] We'll forget the priest this very morning
Tonight we'll lie in Murphy's shed
Now through the fair we're [A] all together
[E] My black eye [A] and her red [E] hair
_ Smiling gaily at the _ [B] tinkers
[E] And be gone, we [Bm] were [E] a handsome pair
Keep your hands off Red-Haired [C#m] Mary
Or I [A] will soon [E] be wet
We'll forget the priest this very [B] morning
_ _ [E] And tonight we'll lie [B] in [E] Murphy's shed _ _ _
