Intro:
A A A E / A D E A
A . . .
Come all ye bold heroes, give an ear to me song
E . D A
We'll sing in the praise of good brandy and rum
A . . E .
It's a clear crystal fountain near Ireland doth roll
A D E A
Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl
A . . E
I'll fathom the bowl, I'll fathom the bowl
A D E A
Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl
A . . .
From France we do get brandy, from Jamaica comes rum
E . D A
Sweet oranges and apples from Portugal come
A . . E .
But stout and strong cider are Ireland's control
A D E A
Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl
A . . E
I'll fathom the bowl, I'll fathom the bowl
A D E A
Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl
A . . .
Me wife, she do disturb me when I'm laying at my ease
E . D A
She does as she likes, she says as she please
A . . E .
Me wife, she's the devil, she's black as the coal
A D E A
Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl
A . . E
I'll fathom the bowl, I'll fathom the bowl
A D E A
Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl

Me father, he do lie in the depths of the sea
E . D A
With no stone at his head, but what matters for he
A . . E .
It's a clear crystal fountain near Ireland doth roll

Give me the punch ladle, I'll fathom the bowl
A . . E
I'll fathom the bowl, I'll fathom the bowl

So come all ye bold heroes, give an ear to me song
