W: W:Chorus: W:He wears a pair of laceless shoes, knickers of corduroy, W:He's a swallowtail coat and waistcoat, he's only got one eye, W:His hair and whiskers both are black, he wears a castor hat, W:And can anyone kindly tell me, have you seen my darling Pat? W: W:On the morning that we parted, the tears rolled in his eye, W:Saying "Biddy dear, I'm going away my fortune for to try. W:They say the harvest is pretty good in Scotland this year, W:So Biddy dear, I'll send you the price of a pint, don't you be feared." W: W:Chorus W: W:"If I can find a postbox, as soon as I arrive, W:You may expect a letter as sure as I'm alive." W:But my Pat's away three months today and he's left me in a stew, W:Since I lost my darling husband, oh what am I to do? W: W:Chorus
