McCCormack and Richard Dm Tauber Are C singing by the Dm bed. There's a C glass of punch beDmlow your feet And an F angel at your C head. There's C devils on each Dm side of you With C bottles in their Dm hands. You need C one more drop of Dm poison And you'll Am dream of foreign Am lands.
When you F pissed yourself in Bb Frankfurt And got C syph down in CoFlogne And you F heard the rattling Bb death trains As you C lay there all aFlone, Frank F Ryan brought you C whiskey In a Bb brothel in MaCdrid And you Bb decked some fucking Bb blackshirt Who was C cursing all the C Yids. At the F sick bed of CuFchulainn We'll Bb kneel and say a F prayer And the Bb ghosts are rattling F at the door And the C devil's in the F chair.

And F in the Euston Bb Tavern You C screamed it was your F shout But they F wouldn't give you Bb service So you C kicked the windows F out. They F took you out inCto the street And Bb kicked you in the C brains, So you Bb walked back in through a Bb bolted door And C did it all aCgain. At the F sick bed of CuFchulainn We'll Bb kneel and say a F prayer And the Bb ghosts are rattling F at the door And the C devil's in the F chair.

C You reCmember that foul Dm evening When you C heard the banshees Dm howl, There was C lazy drunken Dm bastards Singing F 'Billy is in the C bowl.' They C took you up to Dm midnight mass And C left you in the Dm lurch So you C dropped a button Dm in the plate And Am spewed up in the Am church.
Now you'll F sing a song of Bb liberty For C blacks and paks and F jocks And they'll F take you from this Bb dump you're in And C stick you in a F box. Then they'll F take you to CloughCprior And Bb shove you in the C ground But you'll Bb stick your head back Bb out and shout, "We'll C have another C round." At the F graveside of CuFchulainn We'll Bb kneel around and F pray And Bb God is in His F heaven, And C Billy's down by the F bay.
