[Verse]
G
My daddy would not go to work on mornings
G D
He’d been out with Jack Daniel’s all night long
G
Though daddy never cared too much for dancing
G D G
He loved to hear a good ol’ country song.
[Verse]
C G
And son, he said, I never had much money
G D
And I never had the time for fancy clothes
G C
And I’ve always been a fool for Jim Beam whiskey
G D G
And I guess I’ve always loved Wild Irish Rose.
[Walk up to C]

[Chorus]
C
Yes daddy was a gambler
G
My daddy loved the racetrack
G D
What he saw in that God only knows
C
He loved his wife and children
G
But he also loved the horses
G D G
And I guess he always loved Wild Irish Rose.
[Verse]
G
My daddy always cried the morning after
G D
Mom 'n him had argued for so long
G C
He said, when I do right no one remembers
G D G
And for sure no one forgets when I do wrong.

[Verse]
C G
But momma she accused my dad of cheating
G D
She swore that she could smell it on his clothes
G C
So finally dad confessed his sins to momma
G D G
And he told her all about Wild Irish Rose.
[Chorus]
C
Yes daddy was a gambler
G
My daddy loved the racetrack
G D
What he saw in that God only knows
C
He loved his wife and children
G
But he also loved the horses
G D G
And I guess he always loved Wild Irish Rose.
