      Karan Casey - The Keg Of Brandy

[Intro]
C   F   C   F   C   F   C

[Verse 1]
                                 F
I'm always drunk and I am seldom sober
            C
In constant roving from town to town
                                    F
But I am old now, and my sporting's over
         C
Molly, a stór, won't you lay me down?

[Chorus]
                        F
Lay my head on a keg of brandy
         C             F
It is my fancy, I do declare
              C                    F
For while I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
                                C
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare

[Verse 2]
                                F
The ripest apple is the soonest rotten
                C
And the warmest love is the soonest cold
                                  F
A young man's fancies are soon forgotten
                 C
So beware, young maids, and don't make so bold

[Chorus]
                        F
Lay my head on a keg of brandy
         C             F
It is my fancy, I do declare
              C                    F
For while I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
                                C
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare

[Verse 3]
                                     F
It's youth and folly makes young men marry
              C
It makes them tarry a long, long day
                                     F
What can't be cured, love, must be endured, love
             C
So farewell, darling, I am going away

[Chorus]
                        F
Lay my head on a keg of brandy
         C             F
It is my fancy, I do declare
              C                    F
For while I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
                                C
Of lovely Molly from the County Clare
