Counting the towns flashing by me, in a night that's full of soul

THE WRECK OF THE NANCY LEE

I'll tell you the tale of the Nancy Lee

The ship that got shipwrecked at sea

The bravest man was Captain Brown

'Cause he played his ukulele as the ship went down.

All the crew was in despair

Some rushed here and some rushed there

But the Captain sat in the Captain's chair.

And he played his ukulele as the ship went down.

G D7 G D7
The Captain said to Seaman Jones The owners signalled to the crew,
G G
"You'd best put on your working clothes Saying: "Do the best that you can do.
Am Am
While you stand and spray your hose We're only insured for half a crown
D7 G D7 G
I can play me ukulele as the ship goes down." We'll be out of pocket if the ship goes down."

The Captain's wife was on board ship The crow's nest fell and killed the crow
G G
And he was very glad of it The starboard watch was two hours slow
Am Am
But she could swim and she might not drown But the Captain sang fello-de-oh-doh
D7 G D7 G
So we tied her to the anchor as the ship went And he played his ukulele as the ship went
down. down.

WHISKY IN THE
THE JAR
As [C]I was going over the [Am]Cork and Kerry mountains
I [F]met with captain Farrell and his [C]money he was counting,
I first produced my pistol and [Am]then produced my rapier,
Saying [F]“Stand and deliver for you [C]are my bold deceiver.”

Chorus
With your [G]ring dum-a do dun-a da!
[C]Whack fol the daddy oh! [F]Whack fol the daddy oh!
There’s [C]whiskey [G]in the [C]jar.

He [C]counted out his money and it [Am]was a pretty penny


I [F]put it in my pocket and I [C]took it home to Jenny.
She sighed and she swore that [Am]never would she leave me,
But the [F]devil take the women for they [C]never can be easy.

Chorus

I [C]went in to my chamber all [Am]for to take a slumber,


I [F]dreamt of gold and jewels and for [C]sure it was no wonder,
For Jenny drew my charges and then [Am]filled them up with water,
And she [F]sent for Captain Farrell to be [C]ready for the slaughter.

Chorus

’Twas [C]early in the morning be-[Am]fore I rose to travel,


Up [F]crept a band of footmen and sure [C]with them Captain Farrell,
I then produced my pistol for she [Am]stole away my rapier,
But I [F]couldn’t shoot the water so a [C]prisoner I was taken.

Chorus

If [C]anyone can help me it’s my [Am]brother in the army,


If [F]I could learn his station be it [C]Cork or in Killarney,
And if he’d come and join me we’d go [Am]roving in Kilkenney,
I [F]know he’d treat me fairer than me [C]darling sporting Jenny.
