Authur McBride - Galway City Ramblers[00:00:00]

Me and my cousin one Arthur McBride[00:00:03]

As we went a walking down by the seaside[00:00:06]

Now mark what followed and what did betide[00:00:11]

For it being on Christmas morning[00:00:15]

Out for recreation we went on a tramp[00:00:19]

And we met sergeant napper and corporal vamp[00:00:23]

And a little wee drummer intending to camp[00:00:28]

For the day being pleasant and charming[00:00:32]

Good morning good morning the sergeant did cry[00:00:37]

And the same to you gentlemen we did reply[00:00:41]

Intending no harm but meant to pass by[00:00:45]

For it being on Christmas morning[00:00:50]

But says he my fine fellows if you will enlist[00:00:54]

It's ten guineas in gold I will slip in your fist[00:00:58]

And a crown in the bargain for to kick up the dust[00:01:02]

And drink the king's health in the morning[00:01:06]

For a soldier he leads a very fine life[00:01:12]

And he always is blessed with a charming young wife[00:01:16]

And he pays all his debts without sorrow or strife[00:01:20]

And always lives pleasant and charming[00:01:24]

And a soldier he always is decent and clean[00:01:28]

In the finest of clothing he's constantly seen[00:01:33]

While other poor fellows go dirty and mean[00:01:37]

And sup on thin gruel in the morning[00:01:41]

But says arthur I wouldn't be proud of your clothes[00:01:46]

For you've only the lend of them as I suppose[00:01:50]

And you dare not change them one night for you know[00:01:54]

If you do you'll be flogged in the morning[00:01:58]

And although that we are single and free[00:02:03]

We take great delight in our own company[00:02:07]

And we have no desire strange faces to see[00:02:11]

Although that your offers are charming[00:02:16]

And we have no desire to take your advance[00:02:21]

All hazards and dangers we barter on chance[00:02:25]

For you would have no scruples for to send us to France[00:02:29]

Where we would get shot without warning[00:02:33]

Oh now says the sergeant I'll have no such chat[00:02:37]

And I neither will take it from spalpeen or brat[00:02:41]

For if you insult me with one other word[00:02:46]

I'll cut off your heads in the morning[00:02:50]

And then arthur and I we soon drew our hods[00:02:55]

And we gave them no time for to draw their own blades[00:02:59]

When a trusty shillelagh came over their heads[00:03:04]

And bade them take that as fair warning[00:03:08]

And their old rusty rapiers that hung by their side[00:03:12]

We flung them as far as we could in the tide[00:03:16]

Now take them out divils cried Arthur Mcbride[00:03:20]

And temper their edge in the morning[00:03:25]

And the little wee drummer we flattened his pow[00:03:30]

And we made a football of his rowdeydowdow[00:03:34]

Threw it in the tide for to rock and to row[00:03:38]

And bade it a tedious returning[00:03:42]

And we having no money paid them off in cracks[00:03:46]

And we paid no respect to their two b***** backs[00:03:51]

For we lathered them there like a pair of wet sacks[00:03:55]

And left them for dead in the morning[00:03:59]

Me and my cousin one Arthur Mcbride[00:04:04]

As we went a walkin' down by the seaside[00:04:08]

Now mark what followed and what did betide[00:04:13]

For it being on Christmas morning[00:04:17]

And so to conclude and to finish disputes[00:04:21]

We obligingly asked if they wanted recruits[00:04:25]

For we were the lads who would give them hard clouts[00:04:30]

And bid them look sharp in the morning[00:04:34]
