         G                            C       G
 Chorus: Gather up your pots and your old tin cans 
                                    D
         The mash and the corn, the barley and the bran 
         G                           C      G
         Run like the devil from the excise man 
                                  D  G
         Keep the smoke from rising, Barney. 


          G                   C        G
          Keep your eyes well-peeled today 
                                     D
          The excise men, they?re on their way 
          G                 C        G
          Searching for the mountain tay 
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara. 

   Chorus

          G                    C       G
          The mountain breezes as they blow 
                       D
          Echo down to plains below 
              G                C      G
          The big tall men are on the go 
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara. 


   Chorus 

          G                     C            G
          Swing to the left now swing to the right— 
                                   D
          The excise men, they can dance all night 
          G                            C        G
          Drinking up the tay till the broad daylight 
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara. 

   Chorus 

          G                            C        G
          A gallon for the butcher and big Nick Klein 
                                    D
          A bottle for the poor old Father Stein 
             G                 C     G
          To keep him off that altar wine 
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara. 

   Chorus

          G                      C        G
          Stand your ground, for it?s too late 
                         D
          The excise men, they?re at the gate 
          G                             C           G
          Glory be to Paddy for they?re drinking it straight 
                               D   G
          In the Hills of Connemara!
