Crack Was Ninety In The Isle Of Men

(início)

G
Well weren't we the rare oul' stock
Spent the evenin' gettin' locked
D
Up in the Ace O' Hearts
            G                  C
Where the high stools were engaging
G
Over the Butt Bridge, down by the dock,
The boat she sailed at five o'clock.
D
'Hurry boys, now', said Whack,
     G                            C
'Or before we're there we're all be back.'
G
Carry him if you can
G                          D           G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.
G
Before we reached the Alexander Bace
The ding dong we did surely raise
D
In the bar of the ship we had great sport
        G                       C
As the boat she sailed out of the port
G
Landed up in the Douglas Head
Enquired for a vacant bed
D
The dining room we soon got shown
       G             C
By a decent woman up the road
G
'Lads, ate it if you can.'
G                       D              G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.
 G
Next morning we went for a ramble round
Viewed the sights of Douglas Town
D
Then we went for a mighty session
     G                   C
In a pub they call Dick Darbies.
G
We must have been drunk by half past three
To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea
D
Back to the digs for the spruce up
      G                       C
And while waitin' for the rosie
G
We all drew up our plan.
G                         D            G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.
G
That night we went to the Texas Bar,
Came back down by horse and car
D
Met Big Jim and all went in
     C                   G
To drink some wine in Yates?s
G
The Liverpool Judies it was said
Were all to be found in the Douglas Head.
D
McShane was there in his suit and shirt.
      G                        C
Them foreign girls he was tryin' to flirt.
G
Sayin', 'Here, girls, I'm your man.'
G                         D             G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
G
Whacker fancied his good looks
On an Isle of Man woman he was struck
D
But a Liverpool lad was by her side
     G                        C
And he throwin' the jar into her.
G
Whacker thought he'd take a chance
He asked the quare one out to dance
D
Around the floor they stepped it out
     G                  C
And to Whack it was no bother
G
Everythin' was goin' to plan.
G                        D             G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.
G
The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack
Your man stood there till his mates came back
D
Whack! they all whacked into Whack
       G               C
Whack was landed on his back.
G
The police force arrived as well,
Banjoed a couple of them as well
D
Landed up in the Douglas jail
       G                   C
Until the Dublin boat did sail,
G
Deported every man.
G                         D            G
