McIlhatton - Christy Moore
Intro: [G] [A] [G] [A]
G A G A
In Glenravel’s Glen there lives a man whom some would call a god
G A G D
For he could cure your shakes with a bottle of his stuff would cost you thirty bob
G A G A
Come winter, summer, frost all over, a jiggin’ Spring on the breeze
D G D A
In the dead of night a man steps by, “McIlhatton, if you please”
|[CHORUS]
|
|D C G D
|McIlhatton you blurt we need you, cry a million shaking men
|D G D C
|Where are your sacks of barley, will your likes be seen again?
|D G D G
|Heres a jig to the man and a reel to the drop and a swing to the girl he loves
| D A G A
|May your fiddle play and poitín cure your company up above
G A G A
Theres a wisp of smoke to the south of the Glen and the poitín is on the air
G A G D
The birds in the burrows and the rabbits in the sky and there’s drunkards every-where
G A G A
At Skerries Rock the fox is out and be-god he’s chasing the hounds
D G D A
And the only thing in decent shape is buried beneath the ground
CHORUS
G A G A
At McIlhatton’s house the fairies are out and dancing on the hobs
G A G D
The goat’s collapsed and the dog has run away and there’s salmon down the bogs
G A G A
He has a million gallons of wash and the peelers are on the Glen
D G D A
But they’ll never catch that hackler cos he’s not comin’ home again
