AmDG
G When I was at home, I was merry and frisky. AmD My dad kept a pig, but my mother sold whiskey. G My uncle was rich, but ne er could be easy, AmDG till I was enlisted by Corporal Casey. G Och, rub-a-dub, row-de-dow, Corporal Casey, AmD my dear little Shelah I thought would run crazy G When I trudged away with tough Corporal Casey, AmDG Och, rub-a-dub row-de-row, Shelah my love.
G I marched from Kilkenny, but as I was thinking, D on Shelah, my heart in my bosom was sinking. CGAmG But soon I was forced to look fresh as a daisy, AmDG for fear of a drubbin from Corporal Casey. G Och, rub-a-dub, row-de-dow, Corporal Casey, D the devil go with him, I ne er could be lazy CGAmG He struck my shirts so, old Corporal Casey, AmDG och, rub-a-dub row-de-row, Shelah my dear.
G We went into battle, I took the blows fairly, AmD that fell on my pate, but they bothered me rarely. G And who should the first be that dropped? Why, and please you, AmDG it was my good friend, honest Corporal Casey. G Och, rub-a-dub, row-de-dow, Corporal Casey, AmD thinks I, You are quiet and I shall be easy. G So eight years I fought without Corporal Casey, AmDG Och, rub-a-dub row-de-row, Shelah my gal.
