Drops Of Brandy
[Verse]
G C D
Well The raging sea and the rising river are at peace in Waterford town
G C D G
Where the sailing ships caress the slips and the maidens never frown
D G D
It was there I met with Francy Darlow and her face was washed with rain
G C D G
But her house was handy for drops of brandy and I loved her all in vain
[Chorus]
D G D
And the rain it fell like drops of brandy and my love for her was strong
G C D G
And the rain it fell like drops of brandy till the time and tide were gone
[Verse]
G C D
Well she says you are a randy sailor and you’re looking for a townie one
G C D G
Who will tell you lies and brandish eyes till your time and tide were gone
D G D
And it can’t be hard with your laughing manor while you’re sheltering from the rain
G C D G
With the silver shilling for the girl who’s willing may you roam the town in vain?
[Chorus]
D G D
And the rain it fell like drops of brandy and my love for her was strong
G C D G
And the rain it fell like drops of brandy till the time and tide were gone
[Verse]
G C D
Well her hair was gold and her manor easy, when she smiled and led me off
G C D G
And for twenty nine said sheer delight till her wonder was all gone
D G D
And she left me poor and she left me wiser and she left me with this song
G C D G
Well in Waterford town the girls all frown when their brandy drops were gone
[Chorus]
D G D
And the rain it fell like drops of brandy and my love for her was strong
G C D G
And the rain it fell like drops of brandy till the time and tide were gone
[Verse]
G C D
Well The raging sea and the rising river are at peace in Waterford town
G C D G
Where the sailing ships caress the slips and the maidens never frown
D G D
It was there I met with Francy Darlow and her face was washed with rain
G C D G
But her house was handy for drops of brandy and I loved her all in vain
[Chorus]
D G D
And the rain it fell like drops of brandy and my love for her was strong
G C D G
And the rain it fell like drops of brandy till the time and tide were gone
