For it fills the air, With a perfume rare, And betwixt both me and you
A D A E A
And it's home we go, With a pint or bowl, Or a bucket full a mountain dew

So, Away with yer pills, It'll cure all ills, Be ya, Pagan, Christian or Jew
A D A E A
So take off yer coat, And grease yer throat, With a bucketfull of mountain dew
[Chorus]

The Mermaid
A D A
It was Friday morn when we set sail
D E A
And we were not far from the land
A D A
When the captain, he spied a mermaid so fair
D E A
With a comb and a glass in her hand
Refrain:
A E
And the ocean's waves do roll and the stormy winds do blow
A D A
And we poor sailors are skipping to the top
D E A
While the landlubbers lie down below, below, below
D E A
While the landlubbers lie down below
A D A
And up spoke the captain of our gallant ship
D E A
And a fine spoken man was he
A D A
This fishy mermaid has warned me of our doom
D E A
We shall sink to the bottom of the sea
Refrain
A D A
Then up spoke the cabin boy of our gallant ship
D E A
And brave young lad was he
A D A
Sayin' I have a sweetheart in Salem by the sea
D E A
And tonight she'll be weepin' for me
Refrain
A D A
And up spoke the cook of our gallant ship
D E A
And a crazy old butcher was he
A D A
I care much more for my pots and my pans
D E A
Than I do for the bottom of the sea
Refrain
A D A
Then three times around spun our gallant ship
D E A
And three times around spun she
A D A
And three times around spun our gallant ship
D E A
And she sank to the bottom of the sea

Rock Road to Dublin
F#m F#m
In the merry month of June, When first from home I started
F#m E
Left the girls of Tuam, So sad and broken hearted
F#m F#m
Saluted Dather dear, Kissed me darlin' Mother
F#m E
And drank a pint of beer, Me grief and tears to smother
F#m E F#m E
Then off to reap the corn, Leave where I was born
F#m E E E
Cut a stout blackthorn, To banish ghosts and goblin
F#m E F#m E
Bought a pair of brogues, Rattle over the bogs
F#m E E E
Frightened all the dogs, On the rocky road to Dublin
F#m E F#m
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
F#m F#m
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
E F#m E F#m
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
F#m F#m
When in Mullingar that night, I rested limbs so weary
F#m E
Started by daylight, Me spirits bright and early
F#m F#m
Took a drop o' pure, Keep me heart from sinking
F#m E
That's a paddy's cure, Whenever he's on drinking
F#m E F#m E
To see the lassie's smile, Laughing all the while
F#m E E E
At me curious style, Would set your heart to bubbling
F#m E F#m E
Asked me I was hired, Wages I required
F#m E E E
I was almost tired, On the rocky road to Dublin
F#m E F#m
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
F#m F#m
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
E F#m E F#m
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
F#m F#m
Well in Dublin next arrived, I thought it be a pity
F#m E
To be so soon deprived, F# view of that fine city
F#m F#m
Then I took a stroll, All among the quality
F#m E
Me bundle it was stole, In a neat locality
F#m E F#m E
Something crossed me mind, When I looked behind
F#m E E E
No bundle could I find, Upon me stick a wobbling
F#m E F#m E
Enquiring after the rogue, They said me Connacht brouge
F#m E E E
Wasn't much in vogue, On the rocky road to Dublin
F#m E F#m
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
F#m F#m
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
E F#m E F#m
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
F#m F#m
Well, From there I got away, Me spirits never failing
F#m E
Landed on the quay, Just as the ship was sailing
F#m F#m
Aaptain at me roared, Said that no room had he
F#m E
When I jumped aboard, F# cabin found for Paddy
F#m E F#m E
Down among the pigs, Played some hearty rigs
F#m E E E
Banced some hearty jigs, The water round me bubblin'
F#m E F#m E
When off Holyhead, I wished meself was dead
F#m E E E
Or, Better far instead, On the rocky road to Dublin
F#m E F#m
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
F#m F#m
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
E F#m E F#m
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de da
F#m F#m
Well, The boys of Liverpool, When we safely landed
F#m E
Aalled meself a fool, I could no longer stand it
F#m F#m
Blood began to boil, Temper I was losing
F#m E
Poor ould Erins Isle, They began abusing
F#m E F#m E
Hurrah me soul says I, Shillelagh I let fly
F#m E E E
Some Ealway boys were by, Saw I was a-hollerin'
F#m E F#m E
Then with a loud horray, They joined in the affray
F#m E E E
We quickly cleared the way, For the rocky road to Dublin
F#m E F#m
One, Two, Three, Four, Five
F#m F#m
Hunt the hare and turn her down the rocky road
E F#m E F#m
And all the ways to Dublin, Whack fol la de daaaa

Black Velvet Band
A A A E
In a neat little town they call Belfast, apprenticed to trade I was bound
A F#m D E A
And many's the hour of sweet happiness, I spent in that neat little town
A A A E
Till sad misfortune came over me, which caused me to stray from the land
A F#m D E A
Far away from me friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
A A A E Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land A F#m D E A And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
A A A E
I took a stroll with this pretty fair maid, and a gentleman passing us by
A F#m D E A
I knew she meant the undoing of me, by the look in her roguish black eye
A A A E
A gold watch she took from his pocket, and she placed it right into me hand
A F#m D E A
And the very first thing that I thought was, bad luck to the black velvet band
A A A E Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land A F#m D E A And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet bandA A A E
Now before a judge and a jury, next morning I had to appear
A F#m D E A
Oh the judge he said to me "Young man, your case is proven clear
A A A E
We'll give you seven years' penal servitude, to be spent far away from the land.
A F#m D E A
Far away from your friends and relations, betrayed by the black velvet band
A A A E Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land A F#m D E A And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
A A A E
So come all ye jolly young fellows, and a warning take by me
A F#m D E A
For when you are out on the town me lads, beware of them pretty colleens
A A A E
For they'll feed you with strong ale "More Yeah", until you are unable to stand
A F#m D E A
And the very next thing that you know me lads, is you've landed in Van Diemen's Land
A A A E Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land A F#m D E A And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet bandA A A E Her eyes they shone like diamonds, I thought her the queen of the land A F#m D E A And her hair it hung over her shoulder, tied up with a black velvet band
