T'was[G] a cold and frosty[C] morning in Sep[G]tem[Em]ber And[G] all of me money it was[A] spent,,[D] Where it[G] went to oh[C] Lord I cant re[G]mem[Em]ber So[G] down to the[D] shipping office[G] went [Chorus] Oh[G] Paddy lie[C] back,oh Paddy lie back, Take in your[G] slack,take in your slack Take your turn put[Em] on your hats and jump fo[A]r board,,[D] About[G] ship's for[C] England boys be[G] handy For we'er[G] bound for Valp[C]arai so in the[G] morn [2] Last night there was a great demand for sailors For the colonies for Frisco and for France So I slipped aboard a lively barque,the Hotspur And was paralytic drunk before before we went [3] There were Frenchmen,there were Germans there were Russians There were jolly jacks came just across from from France And not one of them could speak a word of English But they'd answer to the name of Bill or Dan [4] I woke up in the morning sick and sore I wished I'd never sailed to sea once more When a voice it came thundering through the floor Get up and pay attention to your name [5] Well I wished that I was safely in the boozer With Molly or with peggy on me knee And I know exactly what I'd like to do now And if you were here you'd do the same as me |
