G5 
Well weren't we the rare oul' stock 

Spent the evenin' gettin' locked 
D5 
Up in the Ace O' Hearts 
                     G5                             C5  
Where the high stools were engaging 
G5 
Over the Butt Bridge, down by the dock, 

The boat she sailed at five o'clock. 
D5 
'Hurry boys, now', said Whack, 
        G5                                         C5 
'Or before we're there we're all be back.' 
G5 
Carry him if you can  
G5                                        D5                G5 
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. 
 

G5  
Before we reached the Alexander Bace 

The ding dong we did surely raise 
D5 
In the bar of the ship we had great sport 
              G5                                 C5                      
As the boat she sailed out of the port 
G5 
Landed up in the Douglas Head 

Enquired for a vacant bed 
D5 
The dining room we soon got shown 
            G5                       C5 
By a decent woman up the road 
G5 
'Lads, ate it if you can.' 
G5                                    D5                    G5 
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. 
 G5 
Next morning we went for a ramble round 

Viewed the sights of Douglas Town 
D5 
Then we went for a mighty session 
        G5                             C5 
In a pub they call Dick Darbies. 
G5 
We must have been drunk by half past three 

To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea 
D5 
Back to the digs for the spruce up 
            G5                              C5  
And while waitin' for the rosie 
G5 
We all drew up our plan. 
G5                                      D5                   G5 
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. 
  

G5 
That night we went to the Texas Bar, 

Came back down by horse and car 
D5 
Met Big Jim and all went in 
        C5                              G5   
To drink some wine in Yates?s 
G5 
The Liverpool Judies it was said 

Were all to be found in the Douglas Head. 
D5 
McShane was there in his suit and shirt. 
            G5                                  C5         
Them foreign girls he was tryin' to flirt. 
G5 
Sayin', 'Here, girls, I'm your man.' 
G5                                      D5                     G5 
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man 
 

G5  
Whacker fancied his good looks 

On an Isle of Man woman he was struck 
 

D5 
But a Liverpool lad was by her side 
         G5                                 C5 
And he throwin' the jar into her. 
G5 
Whacker thought he'd take a chance 

He asked the quare one out to dance 
D5 
Around the floor they stepped it out 
         G5                             C5 
And to Whack it was no bother 
G5 
Everythin' was goin' to plan. 
G5                                     D5                    G5 
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. 
 

G5                                          
The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack 

Your man stood there till his mates came back 
D5 
Whack! they all whacked into Whack 
              G5                        C5 
Whack was landed on his back. 
G5 
The police force arrived as well, 

Banjoed a couple of them as well 
D5 
Landed up in the Douglas jail 
          G5                             C5 
Until the Dublin boat did sail, 
G5 
Deported every man. 
G5                                       D5                  G5 
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.
