Paddy Rolling Stone - as perfomed by Shane MacGowan and The Popes
Intro - [,,,] [,,,]
It was on the twenty third of June
As I lay blasted in my room
A small bird sang on an ivy branch
And the song he sang was the jug of punch
Turaluralie turaluralay
Turaluralie turaluralay
A small bird sang on an ivy branch
And the song he sang was the jug of punch
I don't need my junkie friends
All knockin' on my door
I just wanna do an old time waltz
With a buxom Irish whore
Chorus:
Call me Paddy Rolling Stone
I've a jug full of mountain dew
Call me Paddy Rolling Stone
When I'm howlin' at the ceilidh moon
(repeat chorus)
Break:
[,,,] [,,,]
[,,,] [,,,]
Been drinkin' whiskey in the ditch
With Scruffy and Brick and Noel
Now I've gone and lost my gear
And I'm looking for my hole
We are Tex's Riders
And we come from Nenagh Town
One of these nights durin' one of those fights
We're gonna burn the whole place down
(repeat chorus x2)
An when I die don't bother me
Just dig me a six foot hole
With a candle at my head and feet
And a jar of alcohol
(repeat chorus x2)
Outro: [,,,] [,,,] x7
