If you (G G)ever go to Dublin town
In a hundred (D D)years or (G G)so
(C C)Inquire for me in (G G)Baggot street
And what I was like to (D D)know
O (G G)he was the queer one
Fol dol the di do
He was a queer one
And (D D)I tell (G G)you D D-C C


My (G G)great-grandmother knew him well,
He asked her to (D D)come and (G G)call
On (C C)him in his flat and she (G G)giggled at the thought
Of a young girl's lovely (D D)fall.
O (G G)he was dangerous,
Fol dol the di do,
He was dangerous,
And (D D)I tell (G G)you D D-C C

On (G G)Pembroke Road look out for my ghost,
Dishevelled with (D D)shoes un(G G)tied,
(C C)Playing through the railings with (G G)little children
Whose children have long since (D D)died.
O (G G)he was a nice man,
Fol do the di do,
He was a nice man
And (D D)I tell (G G)you D D-C C

Go (G G)into a pub and listen well
If my voice still (D D)echoes (G G)there,
(C C)Ask the men what their (G G)grandsires thought
And tell them to answer (D D)fair,
O (G G)he was eccentric,
Fol do the di do,
He was eccentric
And (D D)I tell (G G)you D D-C C

He (G G)had the knack of making men feel
As small as they (D D)really (G G)were
Which (C C)meant as great as (G G)God had made them
But as males they disliked his (D D)air.
O (G G)he was a proud one,
Fol do the di do,
He was a proud one
And (D D)I tell (G G)you D D-C C

If (G G)ever you go to Dublin town
In a hundred (D D)years or (G G)so
(C C)Sniff for my person(G G)ality,
Is it Vanity's vapour (D D)now?
O (G G)he was a vain one,
Fol dol the di do,
He was a vain one
And (D D)I tell (G G)you D D-C C


I (G G)saw his name with a hundred more
In a book in the (D D)librar(G G)y,
It (C C)said he had never (G G)fully achieved
His potentialit(D D)y.
O (G G)he was slothful,
Fol do the di do,
He was slothful
And (D D)I tell (G G)you D D-C C

He (G G)knew that posterity had no use
For anything (D D)but the (G G)soul,
The (C C)lines that speak the (G G)passionate heart,
The spirit that lives a(D D)lone.
O (G G)he was a lone one,
Fol do the di do
O he was a lone one,
And (D D)I tell (G G)you D D-C C

O (G G)he was a lone one,
Fol do the di do
Yet he lived happily
And (D D)I tell (G G)you
