Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
Am E
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
Am C G
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
Am E Am
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.
Am C G
Weve fought scores of sailors for the suds frae a keg,
Am E
O'er the draw of a card, or a rare glimpse of leg,
Am C G
We've graced Kuta's beaches with our pallid white skin,
Am E Am
Now Casey old mate, my barge has come in.
Am C G
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
Am E
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
Am C G
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
Am E Am
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.
Am C G
We've stormed foreign strands & taken our knocks,
Am E
Held fast to our picket & lay siege to the docks,
Am C G
We've mourned pals & lovers too long fore their time,
Am E Am
Now Casey old China, the parting is mine.
Am C G
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
Am E
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
Am C G
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
Am E Am
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.
Am C G
I've penned a few lines to my missus of years,
Am E
If ye find where she's staying, don't wait for the tears,
Am C G
And I've left a wee sum for to see me away,
Am E Am
And a pint to fond memory at the close of the day.
Am C G
Bar the door Casey, don't let me in,
Am E
My shade'll not cross your dear threshold again,
Am C G
Bar the door Casey, mind the way well,
Am E Am
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell...
Am E Am
And send my poor ghost on to heaven or hell.
