Pulled me in because
F
C
of what Ar thur McBride
As we went a -walkin'
C
No mark what follows what they betide
Dm
For it be an old Christmas morning
C
Good morning, good morning,
F
C
the sergeant did cry
Dm
gentlemen, we replied
C
Intended no harm, but meant to pass by
F
C
Dm
For it'd be an old Christmas morning
C
And a soldier, he always is decent and clean
F
C
In the finest of clothing
Dm
C
he's constantly seen
While other poor fellows
look dirty and mean
F
C
F
And sup off and gruel in the morning
C
F
Says Arthur, I wouldn't be
F
C
For you've only a lend of them,
C
And you dare not change
for one night that you know
F
C
If you do, you'll be flogged
Dm
C
in the mornin'
F
C
And although that we are single and free
F
C
We take great delight in
F
C
strange faces to see
F
Although that your offer
C
Dm
C
s are charming
Oh no, says the sergeant,
I'll have no such chat
F
C
And I neither will take it from
Dm
C
Spalking nor Bratton
F
C
For if you insult me with one other word
F
C
Dm
I'll cut off your head in the morning
C
And then Ar thur and I,
we soon drew our odds
F
C
And we scarce gave them time
Dm
to turn all the wrong blades
C
When a trusty chalet lay over their heads
F
C
Dm
And bade them take that as fair warning
C
And they were all rusty rapiers
hung by their sides
And we flung them as far as
Dm
we could in the tide
C
Now take them out devils,
F
C
cried Arthur McBride
F
C
Dm
And temper their edge in the mornin'
C
And the little wee drummer
we flattened his pouch
And we made a football
of his rowdy dow -dow
And threw it in the tide
for to rock and to roll
Dm
C
F
C
And bid him a tedious returnin'
Oh me and me cousin
what are the McBride
F
C
Dm
As we went walking down by the seaside
C
Now mark what follows, what the betide
F
C
Dm
For it bein' a Christmas mornin'
C
