[A] [Em]
You'll be fine.
Good evening all me jolly lads, I'm glad to find you [D] well.
If you'll [Em] gather all around me now, the [D] story I will tell.
[Em] For I've got a situation and me gara and me [D] gob.
I can [Em]
whisper I've the weekly wage of nineteen bob.
This [G] twelve months come October since I left me native home.
I've to help an inch of larny boys [D] to bring my harvest down.
[Em] But now I wear a gansey and a rowan me [D] waist of felt.
I [Em] am the copperhead, the squaw that makes the hot ash felt.
Well we [G] laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flats.
And if it doesn't last forever sure [D] as well I'll ate me hat.
Well [Em] I've wandered up and down the world but sure I've [D] never felt
[Em] any surface that was equal to the hot ash felt.
The other night a copper comes and he says to me McGuire
Would you kindly let me light [D] me pipe down at your boiler fire?
[Em] Well he planks himself straight down and we've had this up to late.
He says I'm me decent man you'd better go and mind your bait.
[G] He ups and yows and down I loom I'm up to all your pranks.
Don't I know you're far a traitor from [D] the temporary ranks.
[Em] Boys I hid straight from the show of the hand I gave him so [D] as you felt.
That [Em] I knocked him into the boiler full of hot ash felt.
Well we [G] laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flats.
And if it doesn't last forever sure [D] as well I'll ate me hat.
[E] Well I've wandered [Em] up and down the world but sure I've never [Em] felt
any surface that was equal to the hot ash felt.
We quickly dragged him out again and we threw him in the tub.
And with soap and warm water we [D] began to warm the [Em] squaw.
But then a little thing hit hard and it turned and hard as stone.
And with every other rupture you could hear the copper [G] groan.
I'm thinking there's a righty that he's looking like your Nick.
And burn me if I'm not to find [D] a slave who'd give me pick.
[Em] Now says I had meant to lay the earth a boil [D] and fairly melt.
[Em] And to store him nice and easy in the hot ash felt.
[G] Well we laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flats.
And if it doesn't last forever [D] sure as well I'll ate me hat.
[Em] Well I've wandered up and down the world but sure [D] I've never felt
[Em] any surface that was equal to the hot ash felt.
You may talk about yourself a lot, ballad singers [D] and the rest.
[Em] Your shoemakers and your tailors [D] but we played the ladies best.
[Em] The only ones who know the way to clinky [D] hats and felt.
[Em] And the lads around the boil are making hot ash felt.
[G] With rubbing and with scrubbing sure they caught me there the cold.
The scientific focus [D] is me body in the soul.
[Em] In the Kelvin Globe you'll see me boys I'm hanging in me belt.
As a monument to the Irish making hot ash felt.
Well [G] we laid it in the hollows and we laid it in the flats.
And if it doesn't last forever sure [D] as well I'll ate me hat.
Well I've wandered up and down the world but sure I've never felt
