At McCarthys Party [G] - artist Cliona Hagan
Intro [Am] [D] [G]
[Verse 1]
G
A handsome man you see if you only look at me
D
The other day I met McCarthy down the way
Am E7 Am
He did say to me will you come to our party,
A D
The house to be sure will be crowded to the door
G
We'll all be gay and hearty at McCarthy's party,
C Am
We'll all let down our hair, the Murphys, Burkes & Dailey‘s
G E7
Will be there with their sheleighlis,
Am D G
Down at McCarthy's party.
[Chorus]
C G C G
At McCarthy's Party every one was hearty,
D
Til someone hit Moloney on the nose,
Am E7 Am E7
With the handle of a broom McCarthy cleared the room,
A D
Then a row arose & it was crazy,
G
Murphy and his cousin paralysed a half a dozen,
C
They showed nobody mercy.
C G E7
They caused a lot of bother and fell out with one another
Am D G
Down at McCarthy's Party
[Verse 2]
G
A lady then did try, for to pacify,
D
My, she was a grand 'auld creature,
Am E7 Am E7
Roaring like a bull, she was beautiful,
A D
Madame Peters couldn't imitate her,
G
She opened up her mouth, North, East, West & South,
C
For all the world to see,
G E7
She wouldn't keep it shut, so Murphy stuck his foot...
Am D G
Down at McCarthy's party.
[Chorus] x2
