[Verse 1]
Am F G
I am a rambling Irishman
C F G
In Ulster I was born and
C Am F G
Many's the pleasant day I spent
C F C
'Round the shores of sweet Loch Erin
F C G
But to be poor I could not endure
C F C G
Like others of my station
C F C Dm7
To Amerikay I sailed away
C F G
Left this Irish nation
[Chorus]
C Am Dm7 G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
C F C G
Right antin-de-na in denandy
C Am Dm7 G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
C F C
Right antin-de-na in denandy
[Verse 2]
Am F G
The night before he went away
C F G
I spent it with my darling
C Am F G
Three o'clock in the afternoon
C F C
'Til the break of day next morning
F C G
But when that we were going to part
C F C G
We lay in each other's arms
C F C Dm7
To Amerikay he soon set sail
C F G
A journey with no charms
[Chorus]
C Am Dm7 G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
C F C G
Right antin-de-na in denandy
C Am Dm7 G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
C F C
Right antin-de-na in denandy
[Verse 3]
Am F G
And when we reached the other side
C F G
We were both stout and healthy
C Am F G
Dropped the anchor in the bay
C F C
Going down to Philadelphi-ay
F C G
So let every lass drink to her lad
C F C G
In blue jacket and white trousers
C F C Dm7
And let every lad drink to his lass
C F G
And take them as life spouses
[Chorus]
C Am Dm7 G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
C F C G
Right antin-de-na in denandy
C Am Dm7 G
Rantin-de-na, tan-tin-de-na
C F C
Right antin-de-na in denandy
