Capo III
[Verse 1]
Am
One evening a late, down to Crow Street I strayed
G E
To a bar that's famous, for doin' the late trade
Am
In vodka and whiskey, and red lemonade
G E Am
Among company that's kindly and jovial
G
The man from Conallaigh, put me at me ease
Am G E
And he sat me down easy beside a big blaze
Am
He poured me a pint and a half on that place
G E Am
And another wee drop came from Oweny
[Verse 2]
Am
For an hour and a half, I drank liquor so rare
G E
I'd swear it was brewed by the gods, I declare
Am
Out of nectars and honeys and lotuses fair
G E Am
And it frеshly came over the bordеr
Am G
At half past eleven, I sadly prepared
Am E
To return to my lodgings, back where I was reared
Am
I packed up my bags, I was filled with dull care
G E Am
And then Oweny put in a big order
[Verse 3]
Am
So the tiplers relaxed, and returned to their drinks
G E
Rejoicing that now they need not feel the pinch
Am
Peter Short finished off the last eighth of an inch
G E Am
He was suppin' since twenty past seven
Am G
And the music began, in an old fashioned style
Am E
You would travel to hear it, for manys a mile
Am
We were laughin' and dancin' away all the while
G E Am
I thought I was dead and in heaven
[Verse 4]
Am
Oh, there were lads there from Newry, the Rock and the Hack
G E
And some came from Belfast and never went back
Am
And more lived convenient, the Carrolls and Blacks
G E Am
And every man Jack swilling porter
G
Some came from Hill Street, and more from the quay
Am E
Some Crossmaglen patriots, tearing away
Am
Inniskeen, Donaghmoyne, they were all in array
G E Am
And each one kept themselves in good order
[Verse 5]
Am
Now a big dirty gard, was out on the street
G E
On passing the door, heard the music so sweet
Am
He kicked up his heels, for to beat a retreat
G E Am
To summon up two of his cronies
G
They quickly returned to the scene of the crime
Am E
And they called on the company, to fight or resign
Am
Let them in cried Pat Murphy, we'd only be fined
G E Am
On the night that the gards raided Oweny's
[Verse 6]
Am
Said the Sergeant on enterin', well what's this I see?
G E
And why are so many of ye on the spree?
Am
Could it be that at long last, the country is free?
G E Am
Your conduct it is most nefarious
Am G
Oh, the country's not free, then Oweny did say
Am E
If you want to drink porter like the rest you must pay
Am
We'll stay here if we like, 'til the clear light of day
G E Am
You know in Dundalk we're gregarious
[Verse 7]
Am
So the gards went around, and they took all our names
G E
And they struggled to spell, with their feeble wee brains
Am
And there's some names in Irish, they made a great hames
G E Am
And more they abandoned forever
Am G
To the roof of Mullhollands, some quickly did climb
Am E
To gaze on afar, at the scene of the crime
Am
To watch the old gards, make it good over time
G E Am
As they gathered the rest all together
[Verse 8]
Am
May the divil he roast them, high up on the ramp
G E
The gard and the Sergeant, the lad with the lamp
Am
The dirty mean miserable, lousy lower tramps
G E Am
From the bog that were dragged up so lowly
Am G
May they always see suffering, and sorrow and pain
Am E
May their boots never fit, and their belts never strain
Am
If they interrupt such a grand evening again
G E Am
As the night that the gards raided Oweny's
[Verse 9]
Am G
And may their motors all stand, and their noses all run
Am E
And their necks now so red all turn green in the sun
Am
And their teeth all turn black, and fall out one by one
G E Am
May starvation it make them grow bony
Am G
May their arses all fester, and drop to their heels
Am E
And their last dyin' minutes, be tempered with squeals
Am
May they dance forever, the fastest of reels...
G E Am
With the divil for raidin' poor Oweny's
