The Foxy Devil

     C                F           G
When I was young and handy in me prime
     C              F               G
In taverns I would sit and bide me time
      C               F    C                        G
It’s there I met your company I’d sit and drink me fill.
      C                   F      C                          G
It’s there that you took hold of me I think you’ve got me still.

     C            F             G
You’re the foxy devil when you like
     C              F                   G
You set me mind at ease and then you strike
     C            F    C                         G
You set me head a-reeling you make me shout and sing.
    C                F                 C            G
My memory flees, I get no ease till I have a little drink.

     C             F                    G
You’re the crafty rogue and that’s for sure
 C            F               G
For your company there is no cure
      C                   F C                         G
I’ve squandered all me money and the best days of my life.
    C                     F      C                          G
All on your charms, in spite of harm in spite of peace and strife.

 C               F             G
Whiskey in the morning or at night
        C                   F                  G
Gives strength to sing and dance, to love and fight
     C              F  C                        G
And so despite misfortune I’ll take you as you are
     C                  F    C                          G
The best of friends and enemies the best I’ve known by far.
