    D                                G           DOh, backwards and forwards I’ve been reeling and tight
    G                      DOh, twas some spree that I been at last night
  D                      G      DI been to McCarthys with Patsy OMaher
       G                           DAnd we drank the black bottle from under the bar
   D                      G            DWe drank and we drank, we banished all care
   G                          DWe gave not a thought to foul weather or fair
    D                             G       DAnd now, on the floor, I'm curled up in a heap
       G                         DBiddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep!


[CHORUS]
    D                        G        DI’m clasped to the pig, in a loving embrace
    G                           DThe hairs of his curly tail are tickling my face
        D                    G        DThere’s no use in telling me sober to keep
       G                         DBiddy, leave me to sleep, Biddy, leave me to sleep

  D                     G             DA long time ago, in the days that are gone
         G                   DOh well, gayly I flouried my knotty black-thorn
D                 G        DAnd if I but only had it tonight
     G                   DWell maybe I wouldn't be offered a fight
D                   G          DAnd if Pat Murphy I chances to meet
       G                         DIt's a terrible ruction we would have in the street
    D                         G            DAnd he’ll soon be glad in his knot-hole to creep
