[VERSE 1]
T’was a co[G]ld and frost[C]y morning i[G]n December,
with all of me [Em]money being s[D]pent,
What d[G]ay it was I h[C]ardly can r[G]emember,
so I down to the [D]shipping office [G]went.
[CHORUS]
Oh Paddy lie ba[C]ck,(oh Paddy lie back)
Take in your s[G]lack,(take in your slack)
Ta[G]ke a turn around the ca[Em]pstan, heave a [D]pawl
[G]’Bout ships s[C]tations boys, be h[G]andy
For we're bound for Valpa[D]raiso, round the H[G]orn.
[VERSE 2]
[G]That day there was a gr[C]eat demand for s[G]ailors,
For the Colonies for F[Em]risco and for F[D]rance
So I [G]shipped aboard a [C]liner named the H[G]otspur
And got paralytic [D]drunk on my[G] advance.
[CHORUS]
Oh Paddy lie ba[C]ck,(oh Paddy lie back)
Take in your s[G]lack,(take in your slack)
Ta[G]ke a turn around the ca[Em]pstan, heave a [D]pawl
[G]’Bout ships s[C]tations boys, be h[G]andy
For we're bound for Valpa[D]raiso, round the H[G]orn.
[VERSE 3]
N[G]ow some of our f[C]ellows had been d[G]rinking
And me myself was [Em]heavy on the [D]booze
So I s[G]at upon me [C]ol’ sea-chest a-t[G]hinking
I'd turn into me b[D]unk and have a s[G]nooze
[CHORUS]
Oh Paddy lie ba[C]ck,(oh Paddy lie back)
Take in your s[G]lack,(take in your slack)
Ta[G]ke a turn around the ca[Em]pstan, heave a [D]pawl
[G]’Bout ships s[C]tations boys, be h[G]andy
For we're bound for Valpa[D]raiso, round the H[G]orn.
[VERSE 4]
[G]Well I wish that I was [C]in the Jolly S[G]ailor,
Along with Irish [Em]Paddies drinking b[D]eer
And I t[G]hought what a j[C]olly lot are sa[G]ilors,
An’ with me flipper I w[D]iped away a t[G]ear.
[CHORUS]
Oh Paddy lie ba[C]ck,(oh Paddy lie back)
