I was born about ten thousand years ago
                                 D
In Bellmullet in the County of Mayo
       G                                   D                    Bm
It was me that chased the vermin, while St. Patrick preached the sermon
         A                                D
And I'll whoop the man that says it isn't so

I saw Eve go pickin' apples off a tree
                                 D
She came over and she offered one to me
  G                                   D                    Bm
I turned and said, "Dear madam, go try your luck with Adam
         A                                     D
I'm going home to have some fish and chips and tea."

I saw Delilah cuttin' Samson's hair
                                    D
She snipped away until his head was bare
       G                           D               Bm
When he couldn't run away, well she married him next day
        A                       D
And they opened a barber shop in Clare

With King Billy at the Boyne I heard them call
                                     D
On his followers to follow till they fall
        G                                     D               Bm
Then he said, "We'll win quite easy, and we'll canonize, young Paisley."
       A                              D
Then he up and sang a verse of Derry's Walls

It was during World War II I met them all
                                        D
There was Roosevelt and Churchill and DeGaulle
        G                           D              Bm
Then one day I nearly fainted, I was having my house painted
          A                          D
There was Hitler hanging paper in the hall
