[Intro]
Dm
[Verse 1]
Dm Am
Come all you bold fellers, where'er you may be
Dm
Come set down a-while and listen to me
Am
The truth I will tell you without a mistake
Dm F Dm
Of the rackets we had about Blue Mountain Lake
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
[Verse 2]
Dm Am
There's the Sullivan brothers and Big Jimmy Lou
Dm F
Old Mose Gilbert and Dandy Pat too
Dm Am
As fine lot of fellers as ever you seen
Dm F Dm
And we all worked for Griffith on township nineteen
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry, down
[Verse 3]
Dm Am
Bill Mitchell, you know, he kept our shanty
Dm F
And as mean a damn man as you ever did see
Dm Am
He'd lay round the shanty from morning till night
Dm F Dm
And, if a man said a word, he was ready to fight
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
[Verse 4]
Dm Am
One morning 'fore daylight Jim Lou, he got mad
Dm F
Knocked hell out of Mitchell and the boys was all glad
Dm Am
His wife, she just stood there, and, the truth I will tell
Dm F Dm
She was tickled to death to see Mitchell catch hell
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
[Verse 5]
Dm Am
Old Griffith he stood here, the crabby old Drake
Dm F
And a hand in the racket, we thought he would ake
Dm Am
But a couple of the boys come and took him away
Dm F Dm
"Becripes," said old Griffith, "I've nothing to say"
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
[Verse 6]
Dm Am
You can talk of your fashions and styles to be seen
Dm F
But there's none like Nellie the cook of nineteen
Dm Am
She's short, thick and stout, without a mistake
Dm F Dm
And we all call her Nellie, the belle of Long Lake
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
[Verse 7]
Dm Am
Well, my song's about over, adieu to you all
Dm F
Christmas is coming and I'm going to Glens Falls
Dm Am
And, when I get there, I'll go out on a spree
Dm F Dm
"Cause when I get drunk, boys, the devil's in me
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
Dm F Dm
Derry, down, down, down, derry down
