I[G]am a rambling[C] Irish[G]man
In Ulster [C]I was [G]born [D]in
And [G]many's the pleasant [C]day I [G]spent
Round
the shores of [C]sweet Lough[D] Er[G]in
[G]For to be [C]poor I could[G] not endu[D]re
Like [G]others [C]of my [D]stati[G]on
To
A[C]mericae I [D]sailed a[D]way
And [Em]]left this Irish [C]nati[D]on
Rye[G] tan tin a na,[C] tan tin a [G]na
Rye [G]tan tin a [C]nore in a[G] nan[D]dy
Rye[G] tan tin a na,[C] tan
tin a [G]na
Rye tan tin a [C]nore in a [D]nan[G]dy
The night before I went away
I spent it with my darling
Three o'clock in the afternoon
'Til the break of day
next morning
But when that we were going to part
We linked in each others arms
For Americae we soon set sail
A
journey without no charms
Rye tan tin a na, tan tin a na
Rye tan tin a nore in a nandy
Rye tan tin a na, tan tin a na
Rye tan tin a
nore in a nandy
And when we reached the other side
we were both stout and healthy
We dropped our anchor in the bay
Going down
to Philadelphi
So let every lass drink to her lad
In blue jacket and white trousers
And let every lad drink to his
lass
And take them as lifes spouses
Rye tan tin a na, tan tin a na
Rye tan tin a nore in a nandy
Rye tan tin a na, tan tin a na
Rye tan tin a
nore in a nandy
