[D] [Em] [D]
[Dm] One evening of late as I happened [Bb] to stray [F] To the county [C] tip prairie, I strayed, took me way
[Dm] To take the bed aid as you work by [Bb] the day [F] For a farmer [C] called [D] Darby O'Leary
[Dm] I asked him how [Bb] far we were [F] bound for to go [Bb] The night being [C] dark and the cold wind did blow
[Dm] I was hungry and tired and my spirits [Bb] were low [F] For I got [C] neither [D] whiskey nor water
A dirty old [F] visor he'd mount at [Bb] his feet To the [F]
[C] Galilee mountains he rode in great [Dm] speed
I followed behind to me poor [D] feet did [F] bleed When we stopped [C] when his old horse [D] was weary
[Dm] When we came to [Gm] his [F] cottage I entered at first It [Gm] seemed [C] like a kennel, a ruined old [D] church
Says I to meself [F] I am left in [Gm] the [F] lurch In the house of [C] old [D] Darby O'Leary
I recollected it [F] was [Bb] Micklemas [F] night To a hearty [C] good supper he did me [D] invite
A cup of sour milk [F] was more [Gm] green than [F] white And it gave [C] me the [D] trotting disorder
The wet [Gb] old [F] potatoes would poison the cats And the [C] barn where me bed was was swarming with [Dm] rats
The fleas would have frightened the fearless [Gm] Saint Pat [F] Who banished [C] the [D] snakes o'er the borner
Worked me by [F] day and he worked me [Bb] by [F] night While he held [C] an old candle to give me some [D] light
I wish these [F] potatoes would die of [Bb] the blight [F] Or himself would [C] go off [D] with the fairies
T'was on this old [F] miser I looked with a frown [Bb] When the straw was [C] brought in for to make me shake down
[D] And I wish that I'd never [F] seen him or [Gm] his town [F] Or the sky [C] over [D] Darby O'Leary
I've worked in [F] Kilconnell, I've worked in [Bb] Kilmore [F] I've worked in [C] Noffanny and Shandala [Dm] more
And Pallas and Dicker and [Bb] Salahudmore [F] With farmers [C] so decent [D] and cheery
I've worked in [F] Tipperary, the rag and Ross [Gm] Green At the Mount [C] of Kilfacle, the Bridge of [D] Alene
Such woeful starvation [F] I never [Bb] yet [F] seen As I got from [C] old Darby [D] O'Leary
