After seeing the other tab here was slightly off I felt compelled to submit my
own. This is how i play the song and I’m fairly confident it’s right. There might
be an instrumental section I missed but who really cares?
Enjoy, Olly.
N.C.
Oh kiss me Maggie & take me home,
For I sure dinnae feel like dyin? alone,
Gawn geez a shot, chuck a doggie a bone,
Or a penny for me rattlin? can,
D(let ring)
As sure as Christ it?s a bitter pill,
But if you won?t have me, yer sister will,
I?ll
cart me arse doon
Surry Hills &
call her
out this

Verse 1
Go on, go well, ye?re
no catch o? mine,
Yer clothes in rags, ye reek o? fags &
old green ginger
wine,
My sisters aye a leezie into the
drinkin?, dogs & cards,
My poor departed Father couldn?t
flog her at the
yards,
I?m a man o? some renown ?Jack the
Lad? about the town,
We?ll share a plate of oysters, crack the
neck o? Billy
Brown,
Sly grog & salty treats,
I?ll not grant yer wish,
I?m promised to the toll collector
boy upon the
bridge.
Chorus
Like good whisky in bad
wounds,
Like honey on a toothache, you?ll
never be
mine,
Tho? we can dance, b?Jesus, we?ll
swing like the razors,
Of Kate Leigh &
Tilly
Devine.
Verse 2
Why wait until yer dancin? shoes are
scuffed and in the bin?
I?ll stitch my holey duds, scrape the
whiskers from me
chin,
We?ll get ye down yer scarlet gown, I?ll
steal you somethin? blue,
I?d waltz off Millers point before I
walk the aisle with
you!

Verse 3
Oh I?ll sing you ?six ribbons?!
Aye
when your ?three sheets?!
Yer drunken, brawlin? caterwaulin?
echoes through the
streets,
Y?know I?m not yet very old,
Sure it?s
poison when its cold,
And a
dear old southerly
belters sure to
blow!
