It was on the 23rd of June As I lay blasted in my room A small bird sang on an ivy branch And the song they sang was the "Jug of Punch" Tu-ra-lu-ra-lie, tu-ra-lu-ra-lay, Tu-ra-lu-ra-lie, tu-ra-lu-ra-lay, A small bird sang on an ivy branch And the song they sang was the "Jug of Punch" I don't need my junkie friends All knockin' on my door I just wanna do an old time waltz With a buxom Irish whore Call me Paddy Rolling Stone I've a jug full of Mountain Dew Just call me Paddy Rolling Stone When I'm howling at the ceilidh moon Call me Paddy Rolling Stone I've a jug full of Mountain Dew Just call me Paddy Rolling Stone When I'm howling at the ceilidh moon I'll be drinking whiskey in a ditch With Scruffy, and Brick and Noel Now I've gone and lost my gear And I'm looking for my hole We are Tex's riders And we come from Nenagh town One of these nights, durin’ one of those fights Gonna burn the whole place down Call me Paddy Rolling Stone I've a jug full of Mountain Dew Just call me Paddy Rolling Stone When I'm howling at the ceilidh moon Call me Paddy Rolling Stone I've a jug full of Mountain Dew Just call me Paddy Rolling Stone When I'm howling at the ceilidh moon When I die don't bother me Just dig me a six foot hole With a candle at my head and feet And a jar of alcohol Just call me Paddy Rolling Stone I've a jug full of Mountain Dew Just call me Paddy Rolling Stone When I'm howling at the ceilidh moon Call me Paddy Rolling Stone I've a jug full of Mountain Dew Just call me Paddy Rolling Stone When I'm howling at the ceilidh moon (NOTE: The town in "Paddy Rolling Stone" is of course Nenagh, which is the nearest town from the village Puckaun where Shane lived at his grandparents' farm until he was six years old. His parents then took him to London, but he returned every summer for a few years. I've also read somewhere that after he left The Pogues he's spent a lot of time in Puckaun - Jan och Örjan Folcke. Thanks also to Tom O'Dea and Ingrid for help with the lyrics.)
