[Verso 2]
 
        F              Dm 
I was twelve years old 
        Bb                F 
When my daddy brought me here 
                              C 
With two brothers who loved to laugh 

        F 
But ten to twenty in this muddy hole 
        Bb                  F 
We lost the laughing muscle mold 
                         C            F 
And my brothers lost their lives to mudder's gas

Of Monahan's Mudder's Milk

We'll leave Higgins' gorram moon someday 
 


[Verso 3]
 
        F 
My daddy raised one fist 
To tell the boss he's pissed 
                                 C 
Another to the foreman on third shift 

        F 
But when he raised his shovel 
To protest his low wage troubles 
                              C             F 
He was shot down and dumped in a muddy ditch 
 


[Verso 4]
 
        F 
Well muddin's all I know 
Till I've 'nough to go 
                              C 
And take my own three boys far from here 

        F 
Maybe another place much worse 
In this here cold 'Verse 
                             C          F 
Till then I drink my Monahan's for cheer
