| Sure I don't know it now I'm so bothered Ohone | B |
| And the gals that I danced with light hearted and airy | A |
| It's scarcely they'd notice poor Paddy Malone | B |
| 'Tis twelve months or more since our ship she cast anchor | C |
| In happy Australia the Emigrant's home | D |
| And from that day to this there's been nothing but canker | C |
| And grafe and vexation for Paddy Malone | B |
| Oh Paddy Malone Oh Paddy Ohone | B |
| Bad luck to the agent that coaxed ye to roam | D |
| - | |
| Wid a man called a squatter I soon got a place sure | E |
| He'd a beard like a goat and such whiskers Ohone | B |
| And he said as he peeped through the hair on his faitures | F |
| That he liked the appearance of Paddy Malone | B |
| Wid him I agreed to go up to his station | B |
| Saying abroad in the bush you'll find yourself at home | D |
| I liked his proposal and 'out hesitation | B |
| Signed my name wid a X that spelt Paddy Malone | B |
| Oh Paddy Malone you're no scholard Ohone | B |
| Sure I made a cris crass that spelt Paddy Malone | B |
| - | |
| A herding my sheep in the bush as they call it | G |
| It was no bush at all but a mighty great wood | H |
| Wid all the big trees that were small bushes one time | I |
| A long time ago faith I 'spose 'fore the flood | J |
| To find out this big bush one day I went further | C |
| The trees grew so thick that I couldn't Ohone | B |
| I tried to go back then but that I found harder | C |
| And bothered and lost was poor Paddy Malone | B |
| Oh Paddy Malone through the bush he did roam | D |
| What a Babe in the Wood was poor Paddy Malone | B |
| - | |
| I was soon overcome sure wid grafe and vexation | B |
| And camped you must know by the side of a log | K |
| I was found the next day by a man from the station | B |
| For I coo ey'd and roared like a bull in a bog | L |
| The man said to me Arrah Pat where's the sheep now | B |
| Says I I dunno barring one here at home | D |
| And the master began and kicked up a big row too | M |
| And swore he'd stop the wages of Paddy Malone | B |
| Arrah Paddy Malone you're no shepherd Ohone | B |
| We'll try you with bullocks now Paddy Malone | B |
| - | |
| To see me dressed out with my team and my dray too | M |
| Wid a whip like a flail and such gaiters Ohone | B |
| But the bullocks as they eyed me they seemed for to say too | M |
| You may do your best Paddy we're blest if we go | N |
| Gee whoa Redman come hither Damper | C |
| Hoot Magpie Gee Blackbird Come hither | C |
| Whalebone | B |
| - | |
| But the brutes turned round sharp and away they did scamper | C |
| And heels over head turned poor Paddy Malone | B |
| Oh Paddy Malone you've seen some bulls at home | D |
| But the bulls of Australia cows Paddy Malone | B |
| - | |
| I was found the next day where the brutes they did throw me | A |
| By a man passing by upon hearing me groan | B |
| And wiping the mud from my face that he knew me | A |
| Says he Your name's Paddy Yes Paddy Malone | B |
| I thin says to him You're an angel sent down sure | E |
| No faith but I'm not but a friend of your own | B |
| And by his persuasion for home then I started | J |
| And you now see before you poor Paddy Malone | B |
| Arrah Paddy Malone you are now safe at home | D |
| Bad luck to the agent that coaxed ye to roam | D |
