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:

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

Been drinkin' whiskey in the ditch

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

We are Tex's Riders

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

With a candle at my head and feet
