from the album "The Crock Of Gold"

Ceilidh Cowboy - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes

Intro: [   ] [   ] repeat X 2


I am a ceilidh cowboy
                       
I'm a stranger in this town
                           
You should hear your women squeal with joy
                         
When I get their knickers down

I'll dance them and romance them
                           
Till they're nearly out of breath
                      
Then when I take them out for air
                      
I'll fuck them half to death

     
Been sitting on the fridge close to the edge
                                      
Runnin out of coke and dyin for a poke


Don't lock up your wives and daughters
                            
Don't lock up your cats and dogs
                         
Like I came down here my feet all bare
                       
And I sleep in a hollow log

Chorus: (repeat X 2)
                     
Yippee I oh, Yippee I ay
                   
Yodle odle ee Yodle odle ee
               
Yodle odle odle ay

Break: [   ] [   ] repeat X 2

My name is Father Emmett
I've been banished from my home
Cos all the women loved me
And I always had the bone
I can play the concertina,
guitar, bazouki and citern
When I dance the Siege of Ennis
The floor beneath me starts to burn

For a jar or two just to get me through
I'll do a turn for you... and absolve you too

I'll take care of your missus
All night long the whole night through
While you jump on that young one over there
That's makin eyes at you

Chorus: (repeat X 4)
                     
Yippee I oh, Yippee I ay
                   
Yodle odle ee Yodle odle ee
               
Yodle odle odle ay
