David Allan Coe - Wild Irish Rose

                                 G
My daddy would not go to work on mornings
 	  	  	  	              D
He’d been with Jack Daniel’s out all night long 
G
Though daddy never cared too much for dancing
 	  	     D               G
He loved to hear a good ol’ country song.

    C 	  	  	  	     G
And son, he said, I never had much money
 	  	  	             D
And I never had the time for fancy clothes
G 	  	  	  	           C
And I’ve always been a fool for Jim Beam whiskey
      G 	  	          D 	  	    G       	  	  	 
And I guess I’ve always loved Wild Irish Rose.

Chorus:
    C
Yes daddy was a gambler
   G
My daddy loved the racetrack
 	  	  	       D
What he saw in that God only knows
   C
He loved his wife and children
            G
But he also loved the horses
                      D                G
And I guess he always loved Wild Irish Rose.

G
My daddy always cried the morning after
 	  	          D
Mom n him argued for so long
G
He said, when I do right no one remembers
              	         D 	  	 G
And for sure no one forgets when I do wrong.

    C
But mom she accused my dad of cheating
 	  	  	  	            D
She swore that she could smell it on his clothes
   G 	  	  	  	        C
So finally dad confessed his sins to momma
       G 	      D                G
And he told her all about Wild Irish Rose.
