"Mrs McGrath," the sergeant said,

"would you like a soldier of your 
son Ted?"
D                                 
Scarlet coat, a big cocked hat, 
                 Em
Mrs. McGrath would you like that?"
Em                                
Mrs. McGrath lived on the shore 
  G           D
and after seven years or more
D                                 
She spotted a ship come into the

"Captain dear, where have you 
  G                   D
been, sailing the Mediterranean?
D                                 
Have you news of my son Ted? Is he
           Em
 living or is he dead?"

Then Teddy boy came out with no 
       G                   D
legs and in their place, two wooden 
pegs
D                                 
She kissed him a dozen times or

two and said, "My God Ted is it 
you?"

"Were you drunk or were you blind, 
G                           D
when you left your two fine legs 
behind?
D                              
Or was walking upon the sea that 
                     Em
tore your two fine legs from thee?"
Em                            
"No I wasn't drunk and I wasn't 
               G                D
blind when I left my two fine legs 
behind.
D                              
A cannonball on the fifth of May 
                   Em
tore my two fine legs away."

"Teddy boy," the widow cried, 
  G                       D
"your two fine legs were your 
mother's pride.
D                                 
Stumps of a tree won't do at all, 
you should've run from the 
Em
cannonball."
Em                                 
"All foreign wars," I do proclaim, 
G                    D
"live on blood and a mother's pain.
D                                 
I'd rather my boy as he used to be
 then the king of the west and his 
Em
navy."
