The Craic Was Ninety In The Isle Of Man
[Verse 1]
G G G G
Weren't we, the rare ould stock, spent the evening gettin' locked
D D C C
In the Ace of Hearts, where the high stools were engaging
G G G G
Over the Butt bridge, down by the dock, and the boat she sailed at five o'clock
D D C C
Hurry lads, says Whack, or before we're there, we'll all be back
G G G D G G
Carry him if you can, Oh, the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
[Verse 2]
G G G G
Before we reached the Alexander Base, the ding dong we did surely raise
D D
In the bar of the ship, we had great sport
C C
As the boat she sailed out from the port
G G G G
Landed up in the Douglas Head, enquirin' for a vacant bed
D D C C
In the dining room, got shown, by a decent woman up the road
G G G D G G
Lads, bate it if ya can, Oh, the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
[Verse 3]
G G G G
Next morning went for a ramble round, and saw the sights of Douglas Town
D D C C
Then we went for a mighty session, in a pub they call Dick Darbys
G G G G
All got drunk by half past three, to sober up, went swimming in the sea
D D C C
Back to the digs for the spruce up, and while waitin' for the Rosie
G G G D G G
We all drew up our plan, Oh, the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
[Verse 4]
G G G G
That night we went to the Texas Bar, and came back down by horse and car
D D C C
Met Big Jim and we all went in, to drink some wine in Yates's
G G G G
The Liverpool girls, it was said, were all to be met in the Douglas Head
D D C C
McShane was there in a tie and shirt, with the foreign girls he was tryin' to flirt
G G G D G G
Sayin', Hey girls I'm yer man, Oh, the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
[Verse 5]
G G G G
Whacker fancied his good looks, with an Isle of Man woman he was struck
D D C C
The Liverpool lad was by her side, as he was throwin' the jar into her
G G G G
Whacker thought he'd take a chance, so he asked the quare wan out to dance
D D C C
Round the floor they stepped it out, to Whack it was no bother
G G G D G G
Everythin' was goin' ta plan, Oh, the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
[Verse 6]
G G
The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack
G G
Yer man stood there, 'til his heads came back
D D C C
And whack, they all whacked inta Whack, and Whack was landed on his back
G G G G
The Douglas force arrived as well, landed a couple o’ belts as well
D D C C
And ended up in the Douglas Jail, until the Dublin boat did sail
G G G D G
Deported every man, Oh, the craic was ninety in the Isle of Man
