    C                     D       
In Glenravel’s Glen there lives a 

         C                 D
man whom some would call a god

              C                    
For he could cure your shakes with 

  D                          C    
a bottle of his stuff would cost 

           G
you thirty bob

      D               C           
Come winter, summer, frost all 

      C                     D
over, a jiggin’ Spring on the breeze

       G               C          
In the dead of night a man steps 

    G                  D
by, “McIlhatton, if you please”


[Chorus]

   G                    F         
McIlhatton you blurt we need you, 

      C               G
cry a million shaking men

   G                    C         
Where are your sacks of barley, 

        G               F
will your likes be seen again?

        G                    C    
Heres a jig to the man and a reel 

                  G                
to the drop and a swing to the girl

    C
 he loves

          G               D       
May your fiddle play and poitín 

         C          D
cure your company up above


[Verse 2]

         C                     D  
Theres a wisp of smoke to the 

                      C            
south of the Glen and the poitín is

     D
 on the air

    C                           
The birds in the burrows and the 

 D                            
rabbits in the sky and there’s 

   C           G
drunkards everywhere

    D                 C           
At Skerries Rock the fox is out 

    C                     D
and begod he’s chasing the hounds

        G              C          
And the only thing in decent shape

    G                  D
 is buried beneath the ground


[Chorus]

   G                    F         
McIlhatton you blurt we need you, 

      C               G

   G                    C         
Where are your sacks of barley, 

        G               F
will your likes be seen again?

        G                    C    
Heres a jig to the man and a reel 

                  G                
to the drop and a swing to the girl

    C

          G               D       
May your fiddle play and poitín

[Verse 3]

       C                   D      
At McIlhatton's house the fairies 

             C              D
are out and dancing on the hobs

     C                        D   
The goat's collapsed and the dog 

                         C         
has run away and there's salmon 

      G
down the bogs

    D              C              
He has a million gallons of wash 

       C                   D
and the peelers are on the Glen

             G               C    
But they'll never catch that 

            G                D
hackler cos he's not comin' home 
again


[Chorus]

   G                    F         
McIlhatton you blurt we need you, 

      C               G
cry a million shaking men

   G                    C         
Where are your sacks of barley, 

        G               F
will your likes be seen again?

        G                    C    
Heres a jig to the man and a reel 

                  G                
to the drop and a swing to the girl

    C
 he loves

          G               D       
May your fiddle play and poitín 

         C          D     C
cure your company up above


   G                    F         
McIlhatton you blurt we need you, 

      C               G
cry a million shaking men

   G                    C         
Where are your sacks of barley, 

        G               F

Heres a jig to the man and a reel 

                  G
