Waxies Dargle (2/2) 

The Waxies (candle makers) held an annual outing to the seaside town of Bra, Co. Wicklow, 12 miles from Dublin

 

         D                  G                             D

Says my ol one to your ol one, will ye go to the Waxies Dargle

                                G                          A                  D

Says your ol one to my ol one, sure, I haven't got a farthin'

                                                                                      G   A7

I just been down to Monto town to see young Bill McCardle

            D                           G                       A7                       D      

But he would not give me half a crown to go to the Waxies Dargle

 

          D                                                                                                 G     A

          What are ye havin' will you have a pint, I'll have a pint with you, sir!

                      D                           G                              A                           D

          An' if one o' you doesn't order soon, we'll be thrown out of the boozer

 

(Inst: verse, chorus)

 

        D                    G                        D                  

Says my ol one to your ol one, we have no beef or mutton

                          G                        A                               D

But if we go to Monto town we might get a drink for nuttin

                                                                          G    A7

Here's a piece of advice I got from an old fishmonger

           D                                  G                              A7                         D

When food is scarce and you see a hearse you'll know you died of hunger

 

(Inst: verse, chorus)

 

(Repeat verse 1, chorus)

 

(If fun repeat Inst.)
