DAN MURPHY		Tune: Betsy of Pike

(waltz timing...)

      C                          G        C
Oh me name is Dan Murphy, and a farmer am I
            Am             G
I courted a wee lass and I was rather shy.
C                     F         C
She asked me in for a moment or two -
                                   G         C
Oh, bedad, an' says "Arrr- I don't mind if I do!"


Well I entered her kitchen, 'twas cosy and bright,
And a fine 'earrrrty supper I soon put out o' sight.
She said "Have a drop of the old Mountain Dew"
Oh, bedad, an' says "Arrr- I don't mind if I do!"


When supper was over I picked up me hat.
She says to me "Darrrlin', don't 'ee leave me like that -
"Come lay down beside me for a moment or two"
Oh, bedad, an' says "Ar-- I don't mind if I do!"


Well it's early next morning to the Church to get wed.
The priest stood before us and smiled, and he said
"Now you will take Maggie and Maggie will take you."
Oh, bedad, an' says "ARRRRRRRR! - I don't mind if I do!!"
