Intro - [C,F,G,C] [C,F,G,C]

C F

It was on the twenty third of June

G C

As I lay blasted in my room

C F

A small bird sang on an ivy branch

G C

And the song he sang was the jug of punch

C F

Turaluralie turaluralay

G C

Turaluralie turaluralay

C F

A small bird sang on an ivy branch

G C

And the song he sang was the jug of punch

C F

I don't need my junkie friends

C F

All knockin' on my door

C F

I just wanna do an old time waltz

G C

With a buxom Irish whore

Chorus:

C F

Call me Paddy Rolling Stone

C F

I've a jug full of mountain dew

C F

Call me Paddy Rolling Stone

G C

When I'm howlin' at the ceilidh moon

(repeat chorus)

Break:

[C,C,C,F] [G,G,G,C]

[C,C,C,F] [G,G,G,C]

C F

Been drinkin' whiskey in the ditch

C F

With Scruffy and Brick and Noel

C F

Now I've gone and lost my gear

G C

And I'm looking for my hole

C F

We are Tex's Riders

C F

And we come from Nenagh Town

C F

One of these nights durin' one of those fights

G C

We're gonna burn the whole place down

(repeat chorus x2)

C F

An when I die don't bother me

C F

Just dig me a six foot hole

C F

With a candle at my head and feet

G C

And a jar of alcohol

(repeat chorus x2)

Outro: [C,C,C,F] [G,G,G,C] x7
