G Am D G Em But in Kilkenny, it is reported, Am D C G Gsus4 On marble stones there as black as ink Am D G Em With gold and silver I would support her, Am D G C G But I'll sing no more now, 'till I get a drink. G Em C D For I'm drunk today, and I'm seldom sober, Em G C D A handsome rover from town to town Am D G Gsus4 Ah, but I'm sick now, my days are numbered, Am D C G Come all you young men and lay me down.
