G
Well weren't we the rare oul' stock 
Spent the evenin' gettin' locked 
D
Up in the Ace O' Hearts 
            G                  C
Where the high stools were engaging 
G
Over the Butt Bridge, down by the dock, 
The boat she sailed at five o'clock. 
D
'Hurry boys, now', said Whack, 
     G                            C
'Or before we're there we're all be back.' 
G
Carry him if you can  
G                          D           G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. 
 
G
Before we reached the Alexander Bace 
The ding dong we did surely raise 
D
In the bar of the ship we had great sport 
        G                       C
As the boat she sailed out of the port 
G
Landed up in the Douglas Head 
Enquired for a vacant bed 
D
The dining room we soon got shown 
       G             C
By a decent woman up the road 
G
'Lads, ate it if you can.' 
G                       D              G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. 
 G
Next morning we went for a ramble round 
Viewed the sights of Douglas Town 
D
Then we went for a mighty session 
     G                   C
In a pub they call Dick Darbies. 
G
We must have been drunk by half past three 
To sober up we went swimmin' in the sea 
D
Back to the digs for the spruce up 
      G                       C
And while waitin' for the rosie 
G
We all drew up our plan. 
G                         D            G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. 
  
G
That night we went to the Texas Bar, 
Came back down by horse and car 
D
Met Big Jim and all went in 
     C                   G
To drink some wine in Yates?s 
G
The Liverpool Judies it was said 
Were all to be found in the Douglas Head. 
D
McShane was there in his suit and shirt. 
      G                        C
Them foreign girls he was tryin' to flirt. 
G
Sayin', 'Here, girls, I'm your man.' 
G                         D             G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man 
 
G
Whacker fancied his good looks 
On an Isle of Man woman he was struck 
 
D
But a Liverpool lad was by her side 
     G                        C
And he throwin' the jar into her. 
G
Whacker thought he'd take a chance 
He asked the quare one out to dance 
D
Around the floor they stepped it out 
     G                  C
And to Whack it was no bother 
G
Everythin' was goin' to plan. 
G                        D             G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man. 
 
G
The Isle of Man woman fancied Whack 
Your man stood there till his mates came back 
D
Whack! they all whacked into Whack 
       G               C
Whack was landed on his back. 
G
The police force arrived as well, 
Banjoed a couple of them as well 
D
Landed up in the Douglas jail 
       G                   C
Until the Dublin boat did sail, 
G
Deported every man. 
G                         D            G
The crack was ninety in the Isle of Man.
