     G    
I'll follow their father wherever you go,

       D                             G                 D
With a drink in our chest we'll be strong, we'll be strong

Verse 2
        G           
While I love you dear mother, now, don't you frown,

I'll be back some day without the grey skies,
           C            D                       G          D
We'll have supper, together again, we'll have supper, once again

Chorus

so farewell my beauty, my sweet young girl,

     G       
Then December the 12th, a letter it came,
    Bm                                                C
It re-sung your young love, was laid by a fever last night,

Oh no, I never saw, Oh, again

and our friends smoke cigarettes, and they're friends, best of friends

Verse 6
           G
Oh there's no Irish blood, in our English years,

we fight with our fists and swallow our fears,
