Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

 [ ] [ ] repeat X 2

I am a ceilidh cowboy

 I'm a stranger in this town

 You should hear your women squeal with joy

 When I get their knickers down

I'll dance them and romance them

 Till they're nearly out of breath

 Then when I take them out for air

 I'll fuck them half to death

 Been sitting on the fridge close to the edge

Runnin out of coke and dyin for a poke

Don't lock up your wives and daughters

 Don't lock up your cats and dogs

 Like I came down here my feet all bare

 And I sleep in a hollow log

Chorus

(repeat X 2)

Yippee I oh, Yippee I ay

 Yodle odle ee Yodle odle ee

 Yodle odle odle ay

Break

 [ ] [ ] repeat X 2

My name is Father Emmett

I've been banished from my home

Cos all the women loved me

And I always had the bone

I can play the concertina,

guitar, bazouki and citern

When I dance the Siege of Ennis

The floor beneath me starts to burn

For a jar or two just to get me through

I'll do a turn for you... and absolve you too

I'll take care of your missus

All night long the whole night through

While you jump on that young one over there

That's makin eyes at you

Chorus

(repeat X 4)

Yippee I oh, Yippee I ay

 Yodle odle ee Yodle odle ee

 Yodle odle odle ay
