Scalliwag


Scalliwag by Gaelic Storm Dm C 6x Dm Come away come away with the traveling show C come away with the raggle taggle gypsy oh! Dm We'll raggle-taggle here we'll raggle-taggle there, C raggle up and down taggle everywhere. Dm From the North from the South from the East from the West, C well the sky is our roof and the road is our rest. Dm No one to say 'yes', no one to say 'no'. C Run free with the raggle-taggle gypsy oh! Dm C Dm C Dm They locked you in a tower and threw away the key C but this tower's no match for a wag like me Dm I'll be sneaking through your gate I'll be peaking round the corner C well I've come to take your daughter, don't you say I didn't warn ya. Dm I'll be bringing you a fiddle I'll be singing you a song C we'll fiddle, sing, sing, fiddle all day long. Dm In the halls and the walls they will her us sing and say C "whack fol the diddle diddle die diddle day" Chorus: F Bb F C Come on and wade, way out into the water with me, we're drowning on dry land. F Bb C C# Dm Come on and wade way out into the water with me... Jump in and take my hand. Dm I'll be rapping at your window I'll be knocking at your door C I'll be tip tippy tapping, tippy tapping on the floor Dm With me fine silk britches and a feather in me hat C If I run into your father then I'll stop and have a chat! Dm Cutting through your garden on the way to rendezvous C and the owls in the trees are hooting "who are you?" Dm And the mice and the cats and the spiders and the bats C we're dancing 'round the kitchen like a pack of acrobats Dm Run away, Run away with the traveling show C Run away with the rambling gypsy oh! Dm Run away, Run away with the traveling show C Run away with the rambling gypsy oh! Chorus: F Bb F C Come on and wade, way out into the water with me, we're drowning on dry land. F Bb C C# Dm Come on and wade way out into the water with me... Jump in and take my hand. Violin solo Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Dm C Bb C* Dm C Bb C* *play like a B chord on the 3rd fret Dm A roving and a running and a riding on the sea C and everywhere we go as happy as can be Dm All the mountains and the valleys and the rivers and the streams, C all the lovely places that you've seen in your dreams Dm I'll give you the heavens, the stars in the sky, C every wooded creature, every bird and butterfly Bb I've never had a fortune not a penny will you find C* you're my one and only treasure, you can leave all the rest behind. F Bb F C Come on and wade, way out into the water with me, we're drowning on dry land. F Bb C Come on and wade way out into the water with me... (repeat until end)
