Kilkenny Man by Steve Poltz and Jerry Hannan, performed by The Rugburns, transcribed by Jim Wiggins G Em Sure as I was born in Ireland C D I was weaned on whiskey but raised on gin G Em Drinking so long since I was born C D Never been so high as a kite in a storm CHORUS: G Em Hey ho, whataya know C D When you're outta good whiskey you're out on the road G Em On your way to Kilkenny where liquor is plenty C D G And people are friendly wherever you go G Em Hey ho, whataya know C D When your glass is empty you're bound to go G Em Back on the job just to earn a few bob C D G For good liquor and grub at the Kilkenny Pub [2x SOLO] Well I left home when I was twelve I was out on the road like a bat outta hell Looking for work in the county of Cork With a thick-headed dummy named Paddy O'Rourke [CHORUS, SOLO] Am Kickin' and splashin' and pissin' and cussin' Am G Am And guzzlin' and laughin' and blowin' your load Am Dancin' and singin' shillelaghs are swingin' Am G Am We're arm in arm as we're staggering home Am Am G Diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, Diddlee-aye-ay Am Am G Diddlee-aye, diddlee-aye, Diddlee-aye-ay =Repeat= [CHORUS, 2x SOLO]
