[Verse]
D
Grand daddy used to sit me on his knee,
Am7G
And tell me how it was in the old country.
D
Famine and floods and crops that failed,
Am7GD
I'd listen for hours as he told his tale.
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D
He said, 'There must have been a curse on the family name,'
Am7G
But he swore he'd be the one to break that chain.
D
With the money he saved by the sweat of his brow,
Am7GD
He'd get 'em out of there, some day, somehow.
GC/GG
Well, he never was much of a gamblin' man.
D
But he dreamed of passage to the 'promised land'.
GC/GGA
Bet it all on a better life in A meric a,
FCD
He said, 'We'll change our fate and this danged O'Reilly luck.'

[Verse]
D
I can only imagine the look on his face,
Am7G
Tickets in hand, as they counted the days.
D
El even passports, no turnin' back,
Am7GD
De cidin' what they should, and shouldn't pack.
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
D
But the baby caught the fever, just days before,
Am7G
And the doctor hung a sheet on their front door.
D
For two long weeks, they were quarantined,
Am7GD
Stra nded with nothin' but his shattered dream
GC/GG
Well, he never was much of a gamblin' man.
D
But he dreamed of passage to the 'promised land'.
GC/GGA
Bet it all on a better life in A meric a,
FCD
He said, 'We'll change our fate and this danged O'Reilly luck.'

D
Grand daddy told his story, till he passed away.
Am7G
How the people all cheered from the dock that day.
D
While he shook his fist with a tear in his eye.
Am7G
At the beautiful ship of the White Star line.
FCD
And he cursed his fate and his danged O'Reilly luck,
FCD
As the mighty Titanic sailed into the sun.
GC/GG
Well, he never was much of a gamblin man,
D
But he found his way to the promised land,
GC/GGA
Bet it all on a better life in Am eric a,
FCD
He said, 'We'll change our fate and this danged O'Reilly luck,
GD
This danged O'Reilly luck
