 You’re a bear in a sheepskin coat  
       D                  A 
 And O’Donnell caught you on the boat  
      
 And three little piggies on Walkin street  
      E 
 Have gobbled up all your corn to eat.

 Whack fol da diddle loora-da-o-may.

 Now Buckeye jim has lost his way  
 D                     A 
 Saving his corn for a rainy day  
      
 And North Country beagles did run awry  
        E                
 With a Billy O’Neil just a-wonderin’ why.

 I lost three dimes on a horse called Stewball,  
 D                A 
 By a dozen lusty mares was called  
  
 And when they got him back to his stable  
 E 
 Owner says I hope to God you’re able.

 Had a girl by the banks of the Ohio  
 D                   A 
 Suckled by wind and rain and snow  
  
 No honest man on earth could keep her  
    E 
 So she ran off with a Scottish preacher.  

   A 
 I had a girl called Roarin’ Mary  
     D             A 
 And with her I am feign to dally 
     
 No hope left on that blind man’s table  
    E 
 So I’ll settle down with a cock-right fable.

    A 
 Oh Roarin’ Mary I beg your pardon  
 D                      A 
 Over by the hills near Craggie Garden  
        
 There never was a skite like Dick McSherry  
     E 
 And never was a girl like Roarin’ Mary!
