C F C
Have you heard of Phil the Fluter from the town of Ballymuck?

C F G
The times were going hard with him, in fact the man was broke.

C F C
So he just sent out a notice to his neighbours, one and all,

C Am F G C
as to how he'd like their company that evening at a ball.

C G Am G
And when writin' out he was careful to suggest to them,

C G D G
that if they found a hat of his convenient to the door.

C G Am G
The more they put in, whenever he requested them,

C Am F G
the better would the music be for batterin' the floor.

[Chorus]

C F C
With the toot of the flute, and the twiddle of the fiddle, O,

C F G
hopping in the middle, like a herrin' on the griddle, O.

C F C
Up! down, hands aroun', crossin' to the wall,

C Am F G C
Oh!, hadn't we the gaiety at Phil the Fluter's ball.

the flower of Ardmagullion, and the pride of Pethravore.
