N.C. G C G
Well, the first of me rambles, I now will sing
C D
Like any small bird or thrush on the wing
G C D
When the sun arose for to bless the land
G C G
Well, I was free and easy for to jog along
[Verse]
G C G
Well, the first place I rambled was to Derry Quay
C D
Just a few miles distant of Ballybofey
G C D
They sat me down for to sing a song
G C G
For I was free and easy for to jog along
[Verse]
G C G
Well, the next place I rambled was to Glasgow green
C D
Where the lads and lassies were to be seen
G C D
But I was the blithest of all the throng
G C G
For I was free and easy for to jog along
[Verse]
G C G
Well, I had not gone but a very short space
C D
When a nice, wee girl, she smiled in my face
G C D
She asked of me, am I a married man
G C G
No, I'm free and easy for to jog along
[Verse]
G C G
Well, I took this wee girl into an inn
C D
There we drank brandy, strong ale and gin
G C D
She asked of me, would I give heart and hand
G C G
And give o'er free and easy for to jog along
[Verse]
G C G
Oh no, fair maiden, such things can't be
C D
For I am bound for to cross the sea
G C D
When a man gets married, his race is run
G C G
He's no more free and easy for to jog along
[Verse]
G C G
Look at yonder stream, how it gently glides
C D
It can go no further than it's allowed
G C D
It can go no further that it gets command
G C G
But me, I'm free and easy for to jog along
