So I walk a lit-tle too fast
-5 5 7 7 7 -6 -5* -5
and I drive a lit-tle too fast
5 -3* -6 -6 -6 -6
And I’m reck-less it’s true,
7* -7* -6 -6 -6 -6
but what else can you do
-5* 5* 5 5 -3* 5 5 5
At the end of a love af-fair?

-6 7 -7 -7 -7 7 -6 6
So I talk a lit-tle too much
-5 5 7 7 7 -6 -5* -5
and I laugh a lit-tle too much
5 -3* -6 -6 -6 -6
And my voice is too loud
7* -7* -6 -6 -6 -6
when I’m out in a crowd
-5* 5* 5 5 -3* 5 5 5
So that peo-ple are apt to stare

-5 6 -6 -5 -6 -7
Do they know, do they care,
-6 -5 -6 -6 -5 6 -6 -5
that it’s on-ly that I’m lone-ly
-6 -7 -6 -5 -6
And low as can be?
6 -6 7 6 7 -8
And the smile on my face
-7 7 -7 -8 8 -9 -9 -9
Is-n’t real-ly a smile at all!

-6 7 -7 -7 -7 7 -6 6
So I smoke a lit-tle too much
-5 5 7 7 7 -6 -5* -5
and I drink a lit-tle too much
5 -3* -6 -6 -6 -6
And the tunes I re-quest
7* -7* -6 -6 -6 -6
are not al-ways the best
-5* 5* 5 5 -3* 7 7 8
But the ones where the trump-ets blare!

-7*-7-7 -7 7 -7 -7 7 -7*
So I go at a mad-den-ing pace,
-7 7 -6 6 6 -5 6 6 -5 7
and I pre-tend that it’s tak-ing her place
-6 6 -5 -5 5 -5
But what else can you do,
-5 5 -5 -6-7* -9 6 -6
at the end of a love af-fair?

Place one on my head and my toe,
Carve on them crossed stockwhip and saddle,
To show there’s a stockman below».

Place the pannikins all in a row,
And we’ll drink to the next merry meeting,
And say that a stockman lies low».

Verse 4
«If I had the flight of a bronzewing,
Away to my true love I’d fly,
Straight to the home of my childhood
And there I would lay down and die».

Verse 5
«But hark ’tis the wail of a dingo,
Watchful and weird I must go,
For it tolls the death-knell of the stockman,
Who soon will be lying below.»

THE DYING REBEL

-6 6 5 6 5 -4 4 -3 3
I stood a-lone, where brave men perished

4 4 5 6 -6 6 5 -5 -4 4
Those men have g o n e , their God to meet.

My only son was shot in Dublin,
Fighting for his country bold,
He fought for Ireland, and Ireland only,
The Harp and Shamrock, Green, White and Gold.

The first I met was a grey-haired father
Searching for his only son,
I said Old man, there’s no use searching
For up to heaven, your son has gone.

The old man cried out broken hearted
Bending o’er I heard him say:
I knew my son was too kind hearted,
I knew my son would never yield.

The last I met was a dying rebel,
Kneeling low I heard him say
God bless my home in dear Cork City,
God bless the cause for which I die.
