There's a ^Gpiercing wintry breeze Blowing ^Cthrough the budding^G trees And I button up my coat to keep me ^Dwarm But the ^Gdays are on the mend And I'm ^Con the road ^Gagain With my fiddle snuggled ^Dclose beneath my ^Garm

I've a ^Gfine, felt hat And a ^Cstrong pair of ^Dbrogues I have ^Grosin in my ^Dpocket for my bow O my ^Gfiddle strings are new And I've ^Clearned a tune or ^Dtwo So, I'm ^Gwell prepared to ^Dramble and must ^Ggo

I'm as ^Ghappy as a king When I ^Ccatch a breath of ^Gspring And the grass is turning green as winter ^Dends And the ^Ggeese are on the wing And the ^Cthrushes start to ^Gsing And I'm headed down the road to see my ^Dfriends

I've a ^Gfine, felt hat And a ^Cstrong pair of ^Dbrogues I have ^Grosin in my ^Dpocket for my bow O my ^Gfiddle strings are new And I've ^Clearned a tune or ^Dtwo So, I'm ^Gwell prepared to ^Dramble and must ^Ggo

I have ^Gfriends in every town As I ^Cramble up and ^Gdown Making music at the markets and the ^Dfairs Through the ^Gdonkeys and the creels And the ^Cfarmers making ^Gdeals And the yellow headed tinkers selling ^Dwares

I've a ^Gfine, felt hat And a ^Cstrong pair of ^Dbrogues I have ^Grosin in my ^Dpocket for my bow O my ^Gfiddle strings are new And I've ^Clearned a tune or ^Dtwo So, I'm ^Gwell prepared to ^Dramble and must ^Ggo

Here's a ^Ghealth to one and all To the ^Cbig and to the ^Gsmall To the rich and poor alike and foe and ^Dfriends And when ^GI return again May our ^Cfoes have turned to ^Gfriends And may peace and joy be with you until ^Dthen

I've a ^Gfine, felt hat And a ^Cstrong pair of ^Dbrogues I have ^Grosin in my ^Dpocket for my bow O my ^Gfiddle strings are new And I've ^Clearned a tune or ^Dtwo So, I'm ^Gwell prepared to ^Dramble and must ^Ggo
