G

Matty walked out on a frozen night

C G

Making for the pub, shoulders hunched up tight

C G

Head down on the railroad track

D G

And his old cow Delia sad lowing him back

G

He met with a dark and staggering man

C G

And as he passed him by shouted back at him

C G

"Hey Matty, can't you see what's become of me

G

In this country of the blind!

D G

The house I have left is dead to me

D G

To my rhyming and my poetry

C

All I've got is the beat of the stagger

D G

Heading down the Curragh line!"

G

But Matty passed on as quick as he could

C G

He couldn't stand such a drunken man sober

C G

All he wanted was the lights of the bar

D G

The Nightingale, the Wild Rover

D G

When he came in they were sighing

G

"Look who's back, Did they throw you out of Jack's

G

With your spoutin' and your swearin'

D G

We don't want to hear about Bunker Hayden
