AmE
[Chorus]
AmCG
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
AmE
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
AmCG
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
AmEAm
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.
[Verse]
AmCG
Weve fought scores of sailors for the suds frae a keg,
AmE
O'er the draw of a card, or a rare glimpse of leg,
AmCG
We've graced Kuta's beaches with our pallid white skin,
AmEAm
Now Casey old mate, my barge has come in.
[Chorus]
AmCG
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
AmE
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
AmCG
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
AmEAm
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.
[Verse]
AmCG
We've stormed foreign strands & taken our knocks,
AmE
Held fast to our picket & lay siege to the docks,
AmCG
We've mourned pals & lovers too long fore their time,
AmEAm
Now Casey old China, the parting is mine.
[Chorus]
AmCG
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
AmE
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
AmCG
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
AmEAm
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.
[Verse]
AmCG
I've penned a few lines to my missus of years,
AmE
If ye find where she's staying, don't wait for the tears,
AmCG
And I've left a wee sum for to see me away,
AmEAm
And a pint to fond memory at the close of the day.
[Chorus]
AmCG
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
AmE
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
AmCG
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
AmEAm
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell,
[Outro]
AmEAm
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell...
