As[A] I lay sleeping[D] in my room,

A small bird sang on an[G] ive[A] bush,

And the[D] song he[G] sang[A7] was the jug of[D] punch.

[Chorus.

Too[D] ra lu ra,too la ru[Em] la,to[A] la ru la too[D] la lay,

A small bird sang on an[G] ivy[A] bush,

And the[D] song he[G] sang was the[A7] jug of[D] punch.

[2]

What more diveration can a man desire,

To be seated by a snug coal fire,

Upon his knee a pritty wench,and on the table a jug of punch.

[3]

If I were sick and very bad,and was not able to go or stand,

I would not think it at all to amiss to pledge my shoes for a jug of punch.

[4]

When I am dead and in my grave,no costly toomstone will I have,

Lay me down by my native peat,with a jug of punch at my head and feet.
