Red Haired Mary chords

[G]While going to the fair in Dingle [C]one fine morning last July
[G]And walking down the road before me a [C]red-haired girl I [D]chanced to [G]spy.

[G]Keep your hands off red-haired Mary
[C]Her and I are to be wed,
We're [G]seein' the priest this very morning
[C]Tonight we'll lie in the m[D]arriage [G]bed.

"[G]Come ride with me my red-haired maiden, the d[C]onkey he will carry two,"
[G]She looked at me with eyes atwinkle, her c[C]heeks a lovely [D]rosy h[G]ue.
[G]"Thank you kindly, sir," she answered, th[C]en she tossed her bright red hair,
[G]"Seeing as you have the donkey I'll rid[C]e with you to the [D]Dingle Fair[G] ."

[G]Keep your hands off red-haired Mary
[C]Her and I are to be wed,
We're [G]seein' the priest this very morning
[C]Tonight we'll lie in the m[D]arriage [G]bed.

[G]When we reached the town of Dingle, I [C]took her hand to say goodbye,
[G]A traveller he stepped up behind me and [C]hit me right in [D]my left e[G]ye.
[G]Now I was feeling kind of peevish, [C]my poor eye felt sad and sore
[G]I tapped him gently with my hobnails, and he [C]flew back through M[D]urphy's doo[G]r.

[G]Keep your hands off red-haired Mary
[C]Her and I are to be wed,
We're [G]seein' the priest this very morning
[C]Tonight we'll lie in the m[D]arriage [G]bed.

[G]He galloped off to find his father, the t[C]allest man I e'er did meet
[G]He tapped me gently with his knuckles, n[C]ow I am minus t[D]wo front te[G]eth.
[G]Round the corner came a peeler, to[C]ld me that I'd broke the law
[G]The donkey kicked him in the kneecap, [C]he fell down and b[D]roke his ja[G]w.

[G]Keep your hands off red-haired Mary
[C]Her and I are to be wed,
We're [G]seein' the priest this very morning
[C]Tonight we'll lie in the m[D]arriage [G]bed.

[G]Now the red-haired girl she kept on smiling, "I'll [C]come along with you" she said
[G]"We'll forget the priest this very morning, and tonig[C]ht we'll sleep in [D]Murphy's sh[G]ed

[G]Keep your hands off red-haired Mary
[C]Her and I are off to bed
For[G]get the priest this very morning
[C]Tonight we'll lie in Mur[D]phy's sh[G]ed.
