BARNEY LEAVE THE GIRLS ALONE. AKA and see "Polly Put the Kettle On (1). Irish, Air (whole time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB.

Judy leads me such a life,
Oh Judy leads me such a life,
The devil never had such a wife,
What can the matter be?

Chorus:
Barney leave the girls alone,
Barney leave the girls alone,
Barney leave the girls alone,
And let them quiet be.

Shall I sing a little song
'bout Judy put the kettle on?
She's barking at me all day long,
What can the matter be?

Barney you're a wicked boy,
Barney you're a wicked boy,
And what's more you will kiss and toy
With all the girls you see.
