[Verse]
I'm always Ddrunk and EI'm seldoF#mm sober,
I'm Econstant Arovin' from Dtown to Atown;
Ah, but I'm Dold now, Emy sporting'F#ms over,
So, Molly, a Dstór, would you Elay me F#mdown.
[Chorus]
Just Elay my Dhead on a Ekeg of F#mbrandy,
It Eis my Afancy, I do deDclare;E  
For when I'm Adrinkin', I'm always Dthinkin',B  
On lovely F#mMolly from the DCounty AClare.
[Verse]
The ripest Dapple Eis the soonest F#mrotten,
And the Ewarmest Alove is the Dsoonest Acold;
And a young man's Dfancy is Esoon F#mforgotten,
So beware, young Dmaids, don't Emake so F#mbold.
[Chorus]
Just Elay my Dhead on a Ekeg of F#mbrandy,
It Eis my Afancy, I do deDclare;E  
For when I'm Adrinkin', I'm always Dthinkin',B  
On lovely F#mMolly from the DCounty AClare.
[Verse]
It's youth and Dfolly Emake a young man F#mwasting,
And it Emakes him Atarry a Dlong, long Aday;
What can't be Dcured, love, Emust be eF#mndured, love,
So farewell, Ddarling, I'm Egoing F#maway.
[Chorus]
Just Elay my Dhead on a Ekeg of F#mbrandy,
It Eis my Afancy, I do deDclare;E  
For when I'm Adrinkin', I'm always Dthinkin',B  
On lovely F#mMolly from the DCounty AClare.

F#m

[Verse]

D E F#m

I'm always drunk and I'm seldom sober,

E A D A

I'm constant rovin' from town to town;

D E F#m

Ah, but I'm old now, my sporting's over,

D E F#m

So, Molly, a stór, would you lay me down.

[Chorus]

E D E F#m

Just lay my head on a keg of brandy,

E A D E

It is my fancy, I do declare;

A D B

For when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin',

F#m D A

On lovely Molly from the County Clare.

[Verse]

D E F#m

The ripest apple is the soonest rotten,

E A D A

And the warmest love is the soonest cold;

D E F#m

And a young man's fancy is soon forgotten,

D E F#m

So beware, young maids, don't make so bold.

[Chorus]

E D E F#m

Just lay my head on a keg of brandy,

E A D E

It is my fancy, I do declare;

A D B

For when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin',

F#m D A

On lovely Molly from the County Clare.

[Verse]

D E F#m

It's youth and folly make a young man wasting,

E A D A

And it makes him tarry a long, long day;

D E F#m

What can't be cured, love, must be endured, love,

D E F#m

So farewell, darling, I'm going away.

[Chorus]

E D E F#m

Just lay my head on a keg of brandy,

E A D E

It is my fancy, I do declare;

A D B

For when I'm drinkin', I'm always thinkin',

F#m D A

On lovely Molly from the County Clare.
