[Verse 1]
          D                  A         D              A     D
Would you ever think, if you looked at me, that I was in me prime?

   A                                                          A7
My clothes are torn and me shoes are worn and me age is forty nine

    D     A           G      D                     G        A
Oh, I had friends and pals galore, but alas, those days are past

        A                                 A7                  D
And the only friend that I have left is a poor old, shook old ass
[Chorus]
      D                     A        D                 A      D
Oh, a kind old friend and a true old pal, was this old ass to me

    A                                                     A7
And many's the night he brought me home when I was on the spree

     D      A          G     D               G        A
He's highly bred, he’s badly fed for I don't own much grass

       A                                     A7                D
He's a hare-um, scare-um, devil-may-care-um, great big roaming ass
{Verse 2]
  D                     A      D               A      D
I bought this ass for a half a crown some many years ago

   A                                              A7
We chanced to meet upon the street at the fair of Ballinasloe

   D       A           G         D                G         A
He took me high and he looked so fly with skin as smooth as glass

    A                                          A7                  D
And sure I put down with a half of a crown and sailed home with me ass
[Chorus]
      D                     A        D                 A      D
Oh, a kind old friend and a true old pal, was this old ass to me

    A                                                     A7
And many's the night he brought me home when I was on the spree

     D      A          G     D               G        A
He's highly bred, he’s badly fed for I don't own much grass

       A                                     A7                D
He's a hare-um, scare-um, devil-may-care-um, great big roaming ass
[Verse 2]
         D                A      D           A              D
Oh, I'll ne'er forget the day we met, at the fair of Ballinasloe.

A                                                        A7
Up and down through streets and town, the pair of us did go.

    D    A            G        A
And to depart t'would break my heart, for no one could take his place,

    A                                       A7               D
And tell all of what I think of him, sure I think he's no disgrace.
[Chorus]
      D                     A        D                 A      D
Oh, a kind old friend and a true old pal, was this old ass to me

    A                                                     A7
And many's the night he brought me home when I was on the spree

     D      A          G     D               G        A
He's highly bred, he’s badly fed for I don't own much grass

       A                                     A7                D
He's a hare-um, scare-um, devil-may-care-um, great big roaming ass
