Oh, ^Dbackwards and forwards I’ve been ^Greeling and ^Dtight Oh, ^Gtwas some spree that I ^Dbeen at last night I ^Dbeen to McCarthys with ^GPatsy O^DMaher And we ^Gdrank the black bottle from ^Dunder the bar We ^Ddrank and we drank, we ^Gbanished all ^Dcare We ^Ggave not a thought to foul ^Dweather or fair And ^Dnow, on the floor, I'm curled ^Gup in a ^Dheap Biddy, ^Gleave me to sleep, Biddy, ^Dleave me to sleep!

I’m ^Dclasped to the pig, in a ^Gloving em^Dbrace The ^Ghairs of his curly tail are ^Dtickling my face There’s ^Dno use in telling me ^Gsober to ^Dkeep Biddy, ^Gleave me to sleep, Biddy, ^Dleave me to sleep

A ^Dlong time ago, in the ^Gdays that are ^Dgone Oh well, ^Ggayly I flouried my ^Dknotty black-thorn ^DAnd if I but only ^Ghad it to^Dnight Well ^Gmaybe I wouldn't be ^Doffered a fight ^DAnd if Pat Murphy I ^Gchances to ^Dmeet It's a ^Gterrible ruction we would ^Dhave in the street And ^Dhe’ll soon be glad in his ^Gknot-hole to ^Dcreep Biddy, ^Gleave me to sleep, Biddy, ^Dleave me to sleep!

I’m ^Dclasped to the pig, in a ^Gloving em^Dbrace The ^Ghairs of his curly tail are ^Dtickling my face There’s ^Dno use in telling me ^Gsober to ^Dkeep Biddy, ^Gleave me to sleep, Biddy, ^Dleave me to sleep

Drop ^Ddown by the pig, here, and ^Gshare his em^Dbrace And ^Glet my red whiskers lie ^Dclose to your face This ^Dcraythur won't hurt you, no he’ll ^Gdo you no ^Dharm Drop ^Gdown by me, Biddy, and ^Dkeep me back warm And ^Dsqueeze up beside me, as you've o^Gft done befo^Dre I'll ^Gsing you to sleep with the ^Dsounds of me snore The ^Drats and the mice all a^Ground us will ^Dcreep Biddy, ^Gleave me to sleep, Biddy, ^Dleave me to sleep!

I’m ^Dclasped to the pig, in a ^Gloving em^Dbrace The ^Ghairs of his curly tail are ^Dtickling my face There’s ^Dno use in telling me ^Gsober to ^Dkeep Biddy, ^Gleave me to sleep, Biddy, ^Dleave me to sleep
