[Em] [D/F#] [Am] [Bm]
[VERSE 1]
O[Em]ne fine summer's morning, both gallant and gay,
[Em]Twenty-four ladies went out on the quay,
[Em]And a regiment of soldiers did soon pass them by,
[Em]A drummer and one of them soon caught his eye.
[VERSE 2]
He [Em]went to his comrades and [Bm]to them did [Em]say,
"Tw[Em]enty-four ladies I s[Bm]aw yesterday,
Oh, and [Cmaj7]one of those ladies she [Bm]has me heart won,
And [Cmaj7]if she den[D]ies me then s[Bm]urely I'm d[Em]one."
[VERSE 3]
"Go [Em]off to this woman and [Bm]tell her your [Em]blight
[Em]Tell her she's wounded your [Bm]poor heart inside.
Go and [Cmaj7]tell her she's wounded your p[Bm]oor heart, full sore,
And [Cmaj7]if she de[D]nies you what [Bm]can you do [Em]more?"
[VERSE 4]
So [Em]early next morning this [Bm]young man arose,[Em]
And he [Em]dressed himself up in a fine[Bm] suit of clothes,
With a [Cmaj7]watch in his pocket and a [Bm]cane in his hand,
He sal[Cmaj7]uted those [D]ladies as he [Bm]walked down the [Em]strand.
[INTERLUDE]
[Em] [Bm]
[VERSE 5]
Well he [Em]walked up to her and he says [Bm]"Pardon [Em]me,
[Em]Pardon me lady for [Bm]making so free,
Me fi[Cmaj7]ne honored lady, you h[Bm]ave me heart won,
And [Cmaj7]if you deny [D]me I'm [Bm]surely un[Em]done."
[VERSE 6]
"Go [Em]off little drummer, now [Bm]what do you mea[Em]n?
For I[Em]'m the lord's daughter of [Bm/D]Ballyca[Bm]steen.
[Cmaj7]I'm the lord's daughter of [D]honour, you see,
Go[Cmaj7] little dru[D]mmer, you're [Bm]making too [Em]free."
[VERSE 7]
So he [Em]put on his hat and he [Bm]bade her fare[Em]well
Saying "[Em]I'll send my soul down to [Bm]heaven or hell.
For [Cmaj7]with this long pistol that [Bm]hangs by my side,
[Cmaj7]I'll put an [D]end to my o[Bm]wn dreary [Em]life."

[VERSE 8]
[Em]"Come back little drummer, now what do you mean,
[Em]For I do not want to be guilty of sin,
[Em]To be guilty of innocent blood for to spill.
[Em]Come back little drummer, I'm here at your will."
[VERSE 9]
"We'[Am]ll hire a ca[Bm]r and to [Cmaj7]Bansheer we'll [Em]go.
[Em]There we'll be married in s[Bm]pite of our foes.
But [Cmaj7]what can they say when it's o[Bm]ver and done,
But [Cmaj7]I fell in [D]love with the [Bm]roll of your drum?[Em]"
