We were Cdrin_-king C/Bdown to AmReedy's Am/Ghouse_
When Ffirst we Gheard the Cblow_
It Cseemed_ to C/Bcome from AmRipper Am/GRock_
So Fboldly F/Eforth to Dmgo_
And Fsure_ enough the Crusty tub_
Could just be C/Bbarely Amseen_
FAs her Cstern was high up in the air_
We Ammade out Athens Queen_
FO_ the Clovely GAthens QueenC/G (Intro)_
Me Cboys_ I C/Bmust reAmmind you_
Am/GThere's a Fbottle_ Gleft inCside_
So Clet us C/Bgo_ and Amhave_ a Am/Gfew_
And Fwait unF/Etil low Dmtide_
And Fif_ the sea's not Cclaimed her_
When the glasses C/Bare licked Amclean_
FWe_ will Cthen set forth some dories lads_
And Amsee what may be seen
FO_ the Clovely GAthens Queen_ C/G (Intro)
Some Csongs_ and C/Bold tall Amstories Am/Gthen
Came Fout to Gpass the Ctime
Nor Ccould_ a C/Bsingle Ambottle
Am/GKeep us Fall_ unF/Etil low Dmtide
And Fso_ it was beCfore we left
The house we C/Bwere at Amsea
FSo_ we Cscarcely can remember
How we Ammade the Athens Queen
FO_ the Clovely GAthens Queen_C/G (Intro)
O the Cwaves_ C/Binside Amme Am/Gbelly
Were as Fhigh as Gthose outCside
And Cthough I'm C/Bnever Amseasick Am/GI
lost Fdinner F/Eover-sDmide
T'was Fwell_ there was no Ccrew to save
For we'd have C/Bscared 'em Amgreen
FWe_ could Cscarcely keep ourselves
From falling Amoff the Athens Queen
FO_ the Clovely GAthens QueenC/G (Intro)_
WelCl ReedC/By goes straighAmt down Am/Gbelow_
And Fcomes up Gwith a Ccow
HelClo I C/Bsaid now Amwhat would Am/Gyou
Be Fwantin' F/Ewith that Dmnow
You'll Fne_-ver take the Ccow home
In a dory C/Bon such Amsea
FWell_ me Cson he says I've always fancied
AmFresh cream in me tea
FO_ the Clovely GAthens QueenC/G (Intro)_
I Cheaded_ C/Bfor the Amgalley Am/Gthen_
Cause FI was Grather Cdry_
And Cglad_ I C/Bwas to Amget there Am/Gquick_
For Fwhat shouldF/E I Dmspy_
O Fwhat a shame it Cwould have been_
For to lose it C/Ball_ at Amsea_
FFor_-ty Ccases of the best Napoleon_
AmBrandy ever seen_
FO_ the Clovely GAthens QueenC/G (Intro)_
I Cloaded C/Btwenty Amcases Am/Gboys_
Then Fheaded_ Gfor the Cshore_
UnCloaded C/Bthem as Amquick as Am/Gthat_
And Fthen pulled F/Eback for Dmmore_
FSmith was pullin' Cfor the shore_
But he could C/Bscarce be Amseen_
FUnder Cnear two hundred chickens_
And a Amleather couch of green_

So Chere's_ to C/Ball good AmsalvaAm/Ggers_
LikeFwise to GRipper CRock_
And Cto_ NaC/Bpoleon Ambrandy of Am/Gwhich_
FNow we F/Ehave much Dmstock_

And sit on a C/Bcouch of Amgreen_
FAnd_ we Cwait for Ripper Rock_
To claim_ aAmnother Athens Queen_
