G D Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man G Well weren't we the rare oul stock D Spent the evenin' gettin' locked G In the Ace O' Hearts where the high stools were C Engaging G Over the Butte Bridge, down by the dock
The boat she sailed at five o'clock
D 'Ah hurry on', said Whack G C 'Or before we're there we'll all be back G Carry him if you can' D G Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man G Before we reached the Alexander Base D The ding dong we did surely raise
In the bar of the ship, had great sport
G C As the boat she sailed out of the port G Landed up in the Douglas Head
Enquiring for a vacant bed
D The dining room we soon got shown G C By a decent looking woman G Saying 'Lads ate up if you can. ' D G Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man G Next morning we went for a ramble round
Viewed the sights of Douglas Town
D Ended up in a mighty session G C In a pub they call dick Darby's G We all got drunk by half past three
To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea
D Back to the digs for the spruce up G C G While waitin' for the Rosie, we all drew up our plan D G Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man G That night we went to the Texas Bar
Came back down by horse and car
D Met Big Jim and all went in G C To drink some wine in Yates' G The Liverpool girls it was said
Were all to be found in the Douglas Head
D Mcshane was there in tie and shirt G C The foreign queer was tryin' to flirt G Sayin', 'Hey, girls, I'm your man. ' D G Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man G Whacker fancied his good looks
On the Isle of Man woman he was struck
D The Liverpool lad was by her side and G C And he threw the jars into her G Whacker thought he'd take a chance
He asked the quare one out to dance
D Around the floor they rocked and rolled G C To Whack it was no bother G Everythin' was goin' to plan D G Oh The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man G The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack
Your man stood there till his mates came back
D Whack! They all whacked into Whack G C Whack was landed on his back G The police force arrived as well
Banjoed a couple of them as well
D Landed up in the Douglas Jail G C 'Til the Dublin boat did sail G Deported every man D G Oh the crack was ninety in the Isle of Man
