[Verse 1]
[G]Brian O Brian O 'Lynn was an [C]Irishman born
[G]His sho[Em]es are worn out[Bm]
and his [C]stockings were [D]torn
His [Em]shirt it [Bm]was ragged,
[C]his coat it was thin
[Bm]But I'm [Em]dressed very w[C]ell,
says [Am]Bri an O [G]'Lynn[Bm][G]
Brian, he lived in [C]an old hollow [G]tree,
but [Em]very con[Bm]tented [C]he seemed to [D]be.
The [Em]wind it did blow,
[Bm]and the rain[C] it beat in.[Bm]
It's a [Em]fine habitation,
[C]says Bri[Am]an O 'Ly[G]nn.[D][Bm][G]
Brian O 'Lynn had no [C]britches to wear.
[G]He [Em]got an old [Bm]sheepskin
to [C]make him a [D]pair.
Put the [Em]skinny side [Bm]out
and the woolly [C]side in[Bm].
They're pleas[Em]ant and c[C]ool,
says [Am]Brian O [G]'Lynn.[Bm][G]
Brian O 'Lynn had no [C]hat to put [G]on.
He [Em]got an old [Bm]beaver to [C]make him one.
[D]There was non[Em]e of the cro[Bm]wn left
and [C]less of the brim.
[Bm]But it's f[Em]ine ventilat[C]ion,
[Am]says Brian O [G]'Lynn.
Brian O 'Lynn had no [C]watch to put [G]on.
He [Em]got an old [Bm]turnip
[C]to make him one.
[D]And he placed a y[Em]oung cri[Bm]cket
in [C]under its skin.
[Bm]You'll think[Em] it's a chic[C]ken,
[Am]says Brian O [Em]'Lynn.
[G]

[Verse 2]
Brian O 'Lynn went to
[C]court in [G]one night
[Em]He set both the [Bm]mother and daughter

[Verse 3]
[C]
to [D]fight
To [Em]fight for his [Bm]hand, they both

[Verse 4]
[C]
stripped to [Bm]the skin[G]
[Em]Sure I'll marry you

[Verse 5]
[C]both,
[Am]says Brian O [G]'Lynn

[Verse 6]
Ryan O 'Lynn had no [C]brogues for his toes
[G]He [Em]hopped in[Bm]to crab shells
to [C]serve him for [D]those
Then he split [Bm]up two oysters
that [C]matched like a [Bm]twin
So they'll [Em]shine out like [C]buckles,
[Am]says Ryan O [G]'Lynn
Ryan O 'Lynn,
his [C]wife and wife's mother
[G]They [Em]all l[Bm]ay down in the b[C]ed
slept [D]together the night [Em]it was [Bm]cold
And the [C]blankets [Bm]were thin
[Em]I'll sleep in the [C]middle,

[Verse 7]
[Am]
says Brian [G]Dolan
