Ev ’ry per son in the na tion, (G)or of great or hum ble sta tion, (C)holds in high est es ti ma tion (G7)Pip ing Tim of (C)Gal way.
Love ly he can play, or low.
He can move you, fast or slow, touch your hearts or stir your toe, (G7)Pip ing Tim of (C)Gal way.
When the wed ding bells are ring ing, (G7)his the breath that stirs the sing ing, (C)then in jigs the folks go swing ing, (G7)Pip ing Tim of (C)Gal way.
He will blow from eve to morn, count ing sleep a thing of scorn.
Old is he, but not out worn.
