    Weren't we,  The rare ould stock,  Spent the evening gettin' locked 
     G              G                     F                  F 
    In the Ace of Hearts,      Where the high stools were engaging

    Over the Butt bridge,  Down be the dock,  And the boat she sailed at five o'clock

    Before we reached the Alexander Base,  The ding dong we did surely raise

    In the bar of the ship, We had great sport

      C                 C                C              C 
    Landed up in the Douglas Head,    Enquirin' for a vacant bed 
    G                           G            F          F 
    In the dining room,   Got shown,  By a decent woman up the road
