Bully in the Alley

CHORUS:

So help me Bob, I’m bully in the alley 

Way, hay, bully in the alley 

Help me Bob, bully in the alley 

Bully down in Shinbone Al


I found myself out on a spree-o

I found myself with time so free-o


I waltzed up to the Angel Inn-o

I kicked on the door and walked right in-o


I walked up to the barroom counter

There I met with Greasy Janey


'He bought me rum and he bought me gin-o

He bought me wine of white and red-o'


And when I’d spent of all my tin-o

Off to bed we both did creep-o


We rough-and-tumbled all night long-o

When dawn did break the cock did crow-o
