[INTRO]
[C] [F] [C] [F] [C] [F] [C]
[VERSE 1]
I'm always drunk and I am seldom [F]sober
In constant [C]roving from town to town
But I am old now, and my sporting's [F]over
Molly, a [C]stór, won't you lay me down?
[CHORUS]
Lay my head on a keg of [F]brandy
It is my [C]fancy, I do de[F]clare
For while I'm [C]drinking, I'm always [F]thinking
Of lovely Molly from the County [C]Clare
[VERSE 2]
The ripest apple is the soonest [F]rotten
And the warmest [C]love is the soonest cold
A young man's fancies are soon for[F]gotten
So beware, young [C]maids, and don't make so bold
[CHORUS]
Lay my head on a keg of [F]brandy
It is my [C]fancy, I do de[F]clare
For while I'm [C]drinking, I'm always [F]thinking
Of lovely Molly from the County [C]Clare
[INSTRUMENTAL]

[VERSE 3]
It's youth and folly makes young men [F]marry
It makes them [C]tarry a long, long day
What can't be cured, love, must be en[F]dured, love
So farewell, [C]darling, I am going away
[CHORUS]
Lay my head on a keg of [F]brandy
It is my [C]fancy, I do de[F]clare
For while I'm [C]drinking, I'm always [F]thinking
Of lovely Molly from the County [C]Clare
