[D] I am the little baker man of bacon I have been I've put three score of four [Am] in this little
aisle of green [D] From the livery down to the cube And I know by the name of old Johnny
Do [G] Of all the bread that's going out your bacon is the best [D] Papa when a man is tired [Am] he can
sit down and rest [D] Beg for his dinner he has nothing else to do Only cook around the corner
with his old riggadoo
I [E] slept in the barn way down at [D] Corriban A wet night come [A] on and I slept [D] on
With holes in the roof and the rain coming through And the rats and the cats they were
playing [C] peekaboo Pushed into waking from the woman of the [D] house
With her white spotty [A] apron and her calico [D] blouse She began to frighten and I said boo
Arra don't be afraid love it's only Johnny Do
Little Bagsy Head Girl One day Good morning Little [Am] Bagsy Head Girl I [D] say
Come on a little baker man how do you do With your axe and your bag and your old riggadoo
[C] I'll buy you a pair of leggings and a collar and a [D] tie And a nice young [Am] lady I'll bitch
by and [D] by I'll buy you a pair of gobbles and colour them blue And an old fashioned lady
I will make her too
[C]
[D] [Am] [D]
Over the road with me pack and me pack Over the fields with me grey and me sack
With holes in me shoes and me toes peaking through Singing skinny me riggadoo to the
low and low Johnny Do I must be off to bed for it's getting late
at night The fires all [Am] raked and out of the [D] light
Well now you've heard the story of me old rickety-doo,
It's been playing my billage years, and I don't johnny-do.
