None of them
D
G
My name is John O'Reilly And my father worked the fields
D
A
In the hills of ol' Kilarney Where I helped him turn the wheels
D G
My arms grew hard as iron For a boy of 17
D A
D
And I used my fists for gamblin' In those wet Kilarney streets
D G
Well the ship left for America I took my pack aboard
D
A
Said goodbye to my dear Ireland Said a prayer to my dear Lord
D
G
I fought those sorry guineas In the kitchen they called hell
D A
D
I fought 'em for their dollar And those guineas paid me well
CHORUS:
D
G
Fair thee well fair Dover Fair thee well your seasons turn
D A
D
For my pockets will be jingling On the day of my return The day of my
return
D G
I fought in New York City and I Fought the Jersey shore
D A
My gut stayed full o' whiskey My bed stayed full o' whores
D
G
They called my right a cannonball My left they called the same
D A D
I left 'em all a lyin' half in blood And the other half in shame
D G
I met a man on '32 and he stuck out his hand
D A
He offered me a 1,000 if I'd fall before his man
D G
I said it could be done but only for another two
D A D
He smiled at me and nodded as I Stuck in my shoe
CHORUS:
D
G
Fair thee well fair Dover Fair thee well your seasons turn
D A
D
For my pockets will be jingling On the day of my return The day of my
return
D G
They rang the bell two times Before I let I'd have my nose
D A
I let him work my left until My eye was swollen closed
D G
Then I let loose a right that they Still talk about today
D A D
For that guinea didn't know that I had bet the other way
D G
They covered every dock at every Port there on the coast
D A
Lookin' for the double crosser Who had turned into a ghost
D G
But I was on a train my friend That rolled the other way
D A D
I I'll sail from California back To Dublin one fine day
CHORUS:
D
G
Fair thee well fair Dover Fair thee well your seasons turn
D A
D
For my pockets will be jingling On the day of my return The day of my
return
D
G
Fair thee well fair Dover Fair thee well your seasons turn
D A
D
For my pockets will be jingling On the day of my return The day of my
return
