Paddy Lie Back

	G	C	G	Em
T'was	a cold and frosty	morning in Sep	tem	ber

	G	A	D
And	all of me money it was	spent,,

	G	C	G	Em
Where it	went to oh	Lord I cant re	mem	ber

	G	D	G
So	down to the	shipping office	went

(Chorus)

	G	C
Oh	Paddy lie	back,oh Paddy lie back,

	G
Take in your	slack,take in your slack

	Em	A	D
Take your turn put	on your hats and jump fo	r board,,

	G	C	G
About	ship's for	England boys be	handy

	G	C	G
For we'er	bound for Valp	arai so in the	morn

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

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 speaka word of English
But they'd awnser to the name of Bill or Dan

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

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
