[Verse 1]
F F6 Gm Dm
Let your quacks and newspapers be cuttin' their capers
Bb Am Gm Dm
About curin' the vapours, the scratch, and the gout
F F6 Gm Dm
With their medical potions, their serums and lotions
Bb Am Gm F6
Upholdin' their notions, they're mighty put out
F F6 Gm Dm
Who can tell the true physic to all that's pathetic
Bb Am Gm F6
And pitch to the divil cramp, colic, and spleen?
Gm F Bb Am
And you'll know it, I think, if you take a big drink
Gm F6 Dm F
With your mouth to the brink of a jug of poitÃn
[Chorus]
F F6 Gm Dm
So stick to the cratur, the best thing in nature
Bb Am Gm F6 F
For sinkin' your sorrows and raisin' your joys!
Gm F Bb Am
Oh, what botheration! No dose in the nation
Gm F6 Gm F
Can give consolation like poitÃn, me boys!
[Verse 2]
F F6 Gm Dm
No liquid cosmetic to lovers athletic
Bb Am Gm Dm
Or bodies pathetic can give such a bloom
F F6 Gm Dm
As a sweet by the powers in the gardеn of flowers
Bb Am Gm F6
Ever gave thеir own bowers such a darlin' perfume
F F6 Gm Dm
And this liquid so rare, if you willingly share
Bb Am Gm F6
To be takin' your hair when it's frizzled and dead
Gm F Bb Am
Oh, the sod has the merit to yield a true spirit
Gm F6 Dm F
So strong it'll shake all the hairs from your head
[Chorus]
F F6 Gm Dm
So stick to the cratur, the best thing in nature
Bb Am Gm F6 F
For sinkin' your sorrows and raisin' your joys!
Gm F Bb Am
Oh since its perfection, no doctor's direction
Gm F6 Gm F
Can cleanse the complexion like poitÃn, me boys!
[Verse 3]
F F6 Gm Dm
While a child in me cradle, my nurse with her ladle
Bb Am Gm Dm
Was fillin' my mouth with an ocean of pap
F F6 Gm Dm
When a drop from her bottle fell into my throttle
Bb Am Gm F6
I stumbled and capered clean out of her lap
F F6 Gm Dm
On the floor I lay crawlin' and screamin' and bawlin'
Bb Am Gm F6
Till me mother and father were called to the fore
Gm F Bb Am
All sobbin' and sighin', they feared I was dyin'
