Karan Casey - The Keg Of Brandy
[Intro]
C F C F C F C
[Verse 1]
F
I'm always drunk and I am seldom sober
C
In constant roving from town to town
F
But I am old now, and my sporting's over
C
Molly, a stór, won't you lay me down?
[Chorus]
F
Lay my head on a keg of brandy
C F
It is my fancy, I do declare
C F
For while I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
C
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare
[Verse 2]
F
The ripest apple is the soonest rotten
C
And the warmest love is the soonest cold
F
A young man's fancies are soon forgotten
C
So beware, young maids, and don't make so bold
[Chorus]
F
Lay my head on a keg of brandy
C F
It is my fancy, I do declare
C F
For while I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
C
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
F
It's youth and folly makes young men marry
C
It makes them tarry a long, long day
F
What can't be cured, love, must be endured, love
C
So farewell, darling, I am going away
[Chorus]
F
Lay my head on a keg of brandy
C F
It is my fancy, I do declare
C F
For while I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
C
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare
