You?re a bear in a sheepskin coat
And O?Donnell caught you on the boat
And three little piggies on Walkin street
Have gobbled up all your corn to eat.
With a too-ra-loo-ra-loo-rae-ay
Whack fol da diddle loora-da-o-may.
Now Buckeye jim has lost his way
Saving his corn for a rainy day
And North Country beagles did run awry
With a Billy O?Neil just a-wonderin? why.
Refrão
I lost three dimes on a horse called Stewball,
By a dozen lusty mares was called
And when they got him back to his stable
Owner says I hope to God you?re able.

Had a girl by the banks of the Ohio
Suckled by wind and rain and snow
No honest man on earth could keep her
So she ran off with a Scottish preacher.
I had a girl called Roarin? Mary
And with her I am feign to dally
No hope left on that blind man?s table
So I?ll settle down with a cock-right fable.
Refrão
Oh Roarin? Mary I beg your pardon
Over by the hills near Craggie Garden
There never was a skite like Dick McSherry
And never was a girl like Roarin? Mary!
