THE BOLD TENANT FARMER chrom
19th C. Irish folk song
Key: Bm
Time: 6/8
-3 -4 -4 -4 -4
One eve-ning of late
-3 -4 -5 6 -6* -7
As from Ban-don I strayed
-6*-7 -8 -7 -8 -6* 6
And towards Bal-lin-ga-ry
-6* 6 -5 -4 -3
I made a near way
-3 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3
And in Bal-lin-spid-dal
-4 -5 6 -6* -7
I made a de-lay
-6* -8 -8 -6* -6* 6 5* -3 -4 -4
When I wet-ted my whis-tle with por-ter
6 -6* -8 -8 -7
I light-ed my pipe
-8 -8 -7 -6* 6 -6*
And I spat on my fist
6 -5 6 -6* -7
And out on the road
-6* -6* 6 -5 -4 -3
Like Old Nick I did twist
-3 -3 -3 -4 -4 -4 -4 -3
Say-ing I care for no land-lord
-4 -5 6 -6* -7
No bail-iff or miss
-6* -7 -8 -6* -6* 6 5* -3 -4 -4
But I’m off like a lark in the morn-ing
