I Had A Hat by Shanneyganock

Great Newfie song. Chorus is repeated after every verse and as many times as you'd 
like at the end.


Chorus:

 D  
I had a hat when I came in and I hung it on the rack,
 D                                                          A
And I'll have a hat when I go out or I'll break somebody's back;
 D  
I'm a decent man, I am, I am, and I don't want to shout,
 D                                                  A         D
But I had a hat when I came in and I'll have a hat when I go out!

Verse 1:
 D  
Casey wore his brand new hat to Murphy's wake last night,
 D                                                 A
Someone stole his hat and, boys, it started up a fight;
 D      
Casey smashed the furniture, the radio as well,
 D                         A
He nearly woke the corpse up when he began to yell:

Verse 2:
 D  
Casey kept on shouting, boys, they couldn't keep him quiet,
 D                                                   A
Someone phoned up for the cops to come and stop the riot;
 D  
Two cops rushed into the room, but Casey laid them out,
 D                           A
He fired them through the window, they both heard Casey shout:

Verse 3:
 D  
Casey kept on shouting, boys, till one-eyed Paddy Flynn,
 D                                               A
Socked him on the whiskers with a great big rolling pin;
 D  
He knocked poor Casey senseless, it was an awful clout,
D                             A
As he lay there unconscious Casey kept on shouting out:
