I had a first cousin
called Arthur McBride

And after resting we both took a tramp
A

We met Sergeant Harper in Corporal Cramp
G

Besides the wee drummer
who beat up our camp

With his rowdy dow -dow
G

in the mornin'
A
D
He said, me young fellows, if you will enlist
G
D
Em
A guinea you quickly will have in your fist
G

Besides a crown for to kick up the dust
G
And drink the king's health in the mornin'
A
D
Had we been such fools
G
as to take the advance,
A
G
D
The wee bit of morn we
Em

had to run chance,
D
For you think it no scruple
to send us to France,
Em
Where we would be killed

He said, me young fellows,
if I hear but one word,

I instantly now will outwith my sword,

And into your bodies a strength will af ford,

So now my gay devils take warning,

we took in the odds.

for to launch out their swords,

A

over their heads,
Em
And we paid them right smart
G

in the morning.

G
And bad and metedious returning.
A

As for the old rapier that
G
A
hung by his side,
G
D
We flung it as far as we
Em
G
could in the tide,
D
To the devil I pitch you,
Arthur MacBride,
Em
G
D
G
To temper your steel in the morning. you
