intro : D with Dsus4 for flair at the end of the measure .
D
when i was a young un’ , i knew a lad from ballybunion
A
he hadn’t got a single penny to his name , you might say
D
he had a raggedy coat , and like two rubber boats
Bm A D
he kept his wellington boots on from december to may
chorus :
G D
it was kevin kelly , with his chopped off wellies
A D
in the middle of the summer time he was looking fine!
G D A
his pants had holes in the knees but he was proud as you please
G A D
with his ol’ wellies he keep strolling along
D
as we got older and slyer and bolder
A
and the girls we had our eyes on they got older as well
G D
with paint on their faces and curves in nice places
Bm A D
well we were dressed to impress them and we thought we were swell!
D
well our duds were in fashion to kindle their passion
A
but there was kevin on the dance floor looking anything but neat
D
he was tryin’ to flirt in his hand – me – down shirt ,
Bm A D
with the same ol’ wellies on his two big feet!
chorus :

G D A
his pants had holes in the knees but he was proud as you please
G A D
with his ol’ wellies he keep strolling along
Em
well we teased him and we mocked him , but sure that never shocked him ,
Bm A
he painted on some laces and cut them down to look like shoes .
Em
he was poor but he had style , he made everybody smile
A
he wore his ol’ wellies!
he wore his ol’ wellies!
he wore his ol’ wellies!
D G D A
like he’d nothin’ to lose!
D G D A D
D
the next time we found him , well the girls were all around him
A
he was busting the moves , he was happy as can be
D G
one of the girls came near , and whispered in my ear . . .
D notes : A F# D
“only boys who wear their wellies have a chance wit’ me . ”
