Oh, when [Am] the heat got to me, [G] oh, one day as I went down to Yallby to [Am] see,
The sun it was [G] high and the day it was [A] warm,
Said I and [G] Alpine [B] wouldn't do [Am] me much harm.
[E] I went [A] in and I called for a bundle [G] of stout,
I says the barman, I'm sorry, all the beer is sold out.
[A] Try whiskey or [G] paddy, ten [Am] years in the wood,
[G] Says I, I'll try cider, [Am] I heard that's good.
[Am] [G] I [A] fell [G] to the floor and I [A] couldn't get up,
After [G] drinking a pint of [A] Mojolita,
In [Am] [A] the court [D] where [G] I met the law.
[Am] Come here to [G] me, why don't you know [Am] him, the law?

The row, the rowdy rock, the raggy rascal [A] rag,
Tell [G] him I'm not crazy, tell the [Am] guard I'm not mad,
Church is only [G] a drink of [Am] the cider I had.
