[00:01.91]Arthur McBride - Bob Dylan
[00:03.44]
[00:21.46]Oh  me and my cousin  one Arthur McBride
[00:25.97]As we went a-walkin' down by the seaside
[00:29.02]
[00:30.15]Mark now what followed and what did betide
[00:33.77]For it bein' on Christmas mornin'
[00:37.31]
[00:40.25]Now  for recreation  we went on a tramp
[00:44.44]And we met Sergeant Napper and Corporal Vamp
[00:48.81]And a little wee drummer intending to camp
[00:52.79]For the day bein' pleasant and charmin'
[00:56.21]
[01:00.56]Good morning  good morning
[01:02.39]The Sergeant he cried
[01:04.64]And the same to you
[01:06.04]Gentlemen  we did reply
[01:09.47]Intending no harm but meant to pass by
[01:13.10]For it bein' on Christmas mornin'
[01:16.51]
[01:19.47]But  says he  My fine fellows
[01:21.43]If you will enlist
[01:23.39]Ten guineas in gold
[01:25.78]I'll stick to your fist
[01:27.98]And a crown in the
[01:29.46]Bargain for to kick up the dust
[01:32.21]And drink the king's
[01:33.47]Health in the morning
[01:36.95]
[01:39.87]For a soldier
[01:40.68]He leads a very fine life
[01:44.09]And he always is blessed
[01:46.02]With a charming young wife
[01:48.21]And he pays all his debts
[01:49.83]Without sorrow or strife
[01:52.12]And he always lives
[01:53.79]Pleasant and charmin'
[01:55.85]
[01:58.88]And a soldier
[01:59.82]He always is decent and clean
[02:03.19]In the finest of clothing
[02:05.11]He's constantly seen
[02:07.53]While other poor fellows
[02:09.57]Go dirty and mean
[02:11.80]And sup on thin gruel in the morning
[02:16.03]
[02:39.43]But  says Arthur
[02:41.51]I wouldn't be proud of your clothes
[02:43.75]For you've only the lend of them
[02:46.84]As I suppose
[02:48.65]But you dare not change them one night
[02:51.15]For you know
[02:52.22]If you do  you'll be flogged in the morning
[02:57.08]And although that we're single and free
[03:01.13]We take great delight in our own company
[03:05.82]We have no desire strange places to see
[03:09.48]Although that your offers are charming
[03:14.51]
[03:17.06]And we have no desire to take your advance
[03:21.56]All hazards and dangers we barter on chance
[03:25.92]For you'd have no scruples for to send us to France
[03:30.22]Where we would get shot without warning
[03:34.41]
[03:37.51]Oh no  says the Sergeant  I'll have no such chat
[03:41.80]And neither will I take it from snappy young brats
[03:46.23]For if you insult me with one other word
[03:50.19]I'll cut off your heads in the morning
[03:53.91]
[03:54.48]And Arthur and I  we soon drew our hogs
[03:58.50]And we scarce gave them time to draw their own blades
[04:02.80]When a trusty shillelagh came over their head
[04:06.84]And bid them take that as fair warning
[04:11.51]
[04:14.54]And their old rusty rapiers that hung by their sides
[04:18.88]We flung them as far as we could in the tide
[04:23.17]Now take them up  devils  cried Arthur McBride
[04:27.36]And temper their edge in the mornin'
[04:31.47]And the little wee drummer  we flattened his bow
[04:35.29]And we made a football of his rowdy-dow-dow
[04:39.83]Threw it in the tide for to rock and to roll
[04:43.46]And bade it a tedious returning
[04:49.88]And we havin' no money  paid them off in cracks
[04:54.42]We paid no respect to their two bloody backs
[04:58.56]And we lathered them there like a pair of wet sacks
[05:02.81]And left them for dead in the morning
[05:07.29]
[05:09.04]And so  to conclude and to finish disputes
[05:13.02]We obligingly asked if they wanted recruits
[05:17.65]For we were the lads who would give them hard clouts
[05:21.57]And bid them look sharp in the mornin'
[05:26.91]
[05:49.41]Oh  me and my cousin  one Arthur McBride
[05:53.63]As we went a-walkin' down by the seaside
[05:58.24]Mark now what followed and what did betide
[06:02.01]For it bein' on Christmas mornin'
