The Stillwater Hobos

Roaring Mary Chords

          A
 You’re a bear in a sheepskin coat 
       D                  A
 And O’Donnell caught you on the boat 
     
 And three little piggies on Walkin street 
      E
 Have gobbled up all your corn to eat. 

Chorus:
       A              D
 With a too-ra-loo-ra-loo-rae-ay 
 A                         E    A
 Whack fol da diddle loora-da-o-may. 

     A
 Now Buckeye jim has lost his way 
 D                     A
 Saving his corn for a rainy day 
     
 And North Country beagles did run awry 
        E               
 With a Billy O’Neil just a-wonderin’ why. 

 Chorus

   A
 I lost three dimes on a horse called Stewball, 
 D                A
 By a dozen lusty mares was called 
 
 And when they got him back to his stable 
 E
 Owner says I hope to God you’re able. 

Chorus

       A
 Had a girl by the banks of the Ohio 
 D                   A
 Suckled by wind and rain and snow 
 
 No honest man on earth could keep her 
    E
 So she ran off with a Scottish preacher. 

   A
 I had a girl called Roarin’ Mary 
     D             A
 And with her I am feign to dally
    
 No hope left on that blind man’s table 
    E
 So I’ll settle down with a cock-right fable. 

Chorus

    A
 Oh Roarin’ Mary I beg your pardon 
 D                      A
 Over by the hills near Craggie Garden 
       
 There never was a skite like Dick McSherry 
     E
 And never was a girl like Roarin’ Mary! 

 Chorus
