The Foxy Devil

     C                F        
When I was young and handy in me 
   G
prime
     C              F             
In taverns I would sit and bide me
  G
 time
      C               F    C     
It’s there I met your company I’d
                   G
 sit and drink me fill.
      C                   F      
It’s there that you took hold of 
C                          G
me I think you’ve got me still.

[Chorus]
     C            F             G
You’re the foxy devil when you like
     C              F             
You set me mind at ease and then 
      G
you strike

     C            F    C         
You set me head a-reeling you 
                G
make me shout and sing.
    C                F            
My memory flees, I get no ease 
     C            G
till I have a little drink.

[Verse 2]
     C             F              
You’re the crafty rogue and that’s
      G
 for sure
 C            F               G
For your company there is no cure
      C                   F C    
I’ve squandered all me money and 
                     G
the best days of my life.
    C                     F      
All on your charms, in spite of 
C                          G
harm in spite of peace and strife.

[Verse 3]
 C               F             G
Whiskey in the morning or at night
        C                   F     
Gives strength to sing and dance, 
             G
to love and fight
     C              F  C         
And so despite misfortune I’ll 
               G
take you as you are
     C                  F    C   
The best of friends and enemies 
                       G
the best I’ve known by far.
