Irish Songs With Easy Chords & Lyrics
Ta'im In Arrears
| C | G |
Here's a | health to me mother-in- | law now, |
| C | F |
I | ne'er at a fair saw her | yet, |
| C | F | G |
You | blackguard don't | drink a drop | with me, |
| C | F | C |
Your | conduct I'll | never for | get, |
| F | G |
My money you | freely have | squandered, |
C | F | G7 |
Treated me | rarely there | now |
C | F | G |
Drank both me | goose and me | gander, |
| C | F | C |
and to | night you'll be | drinking me | cow |
Chorus
| C | F | G |
Oh | Ta'im in ar | rears, in ar | rears, |
C | F | G7 |
Ta'im in ar | rears, I dti on | ol, |
C | F | G |
Ta'im in ar | rears, in ar | rears, |
| C | F | C |
I'm | feared I'll not | pay ever | more |
I'm a fellow without any shame now,
Without a good name to report,
That would say to his darling wife's mother,
He'd still carry on in this sort,
I surely must travel through Éirinn,
Take to the road till I die,
As on me way I'll be faring,
You'll still hear my neighbours all cry,
Chorus
I'd give you of cows a full twenty,
Of calves I would give you a score,
I'd give you me money in plenty,
If you'll promise to drink here no more,
A thousand good cows you can give me,
Ten acres a million or more,
I could swear to give over me drinking,
I'd still pay a call to this door .
Chorus
There's a band of grey mud 'round me hat now,
In my coat there is many a tear,
Like a string is my old caravat now,
And oh me poor wig is thread-bare,
I'll buy me a shining new jacket,
A wig that's all powdered galore,
And I'll kick up a mighty fine racket,
When I come into money once more
