[Verse 1]
[C]Lay[G] me[C] to snooze
in the mud and the ooze
With [Am]plenty of [Em]booze to [C]warm me
[G]I'll dre[C]am of a crown and
an iron man gown
And [Em]kings bowing [Baug]down befo[Em]re me
[G]Oh, [F]give me wine as I [C]ask for wine,
and the wealth of the world [Cm]is mine,
[Dm]all [G]mine.
So what [C]care I for a purse of gold,
for blood [G]that is old and blue?
[Am]A no[C]ble name or [G]a royal fame
When a flagon of wine will do
[F]A flagon of wine, [G]a gallon of [C]wine
A [Eb]barrel of wine [C]will do
[G]Hey, [Ab]I'll [G]kill a blind[C] widow!
[Fm][C]
Leave me to drench on a tavern bench
With my [Am]drowsy [Em]-frowsy [C]doxy!
[G]She's Hel[F]en of Tro[C]y
for to be my joy
Or marry [Em]a France [Am]by proxy?[Dm][G]
[F]For when I'm drunk as I [C]wish to be,
Why, any fat wench [Cm]is a queen [Dm]to me![G]
So [C]what care I for a downcast eye
For [G]love that is pure and [C]true?
[Am]There's [C]none so dear as
the [G]girl that's here
When a flaggin' of wine will do.
A flaggin' [F]of wine, [G]a g[C]allon of wine,
[Eb]A barrel of wine [C]will [G]do.
[Ab]And a sh[G]ill of wine will d[C]o.[F][C]
Bury me deep for [F]my last [Fm]long [Cm]sleep,
with a [Ab]gallows deep beside [Cm]me.
[C]I'll [G]nev[Eb]er wake with[G] a
long headache,
though heaven or hell betide me.
For [F]if I die, [C]as I hope to die,
Then I'll never be [Cm]sober again,
[G]not[Dm] I.[Baug][G]
[C]So little I care for a fastened prayer,
I long [G]for a stronger [C]proof.
No water for me [G]to eternity,
When a flag [C]of the blind [G]will do.
A flag of the [Dm]blind,
[C]A flag of the blind,
[G]A flag of [Eb]the blind [C]will do.
Ah! Ah!
[G]Flag of the blind will do.
