Who were you folks, who were you kin?
Big Roy Donahue
E
Where were you going,
A
where have you been?
G
D
Before you died you forgot to tell
A
D
Though everybody knew your problem well
G
Big Roy Donoghue was an honest man
A
D
There was no hard -a -worker in the town
But when he'd bust his paycheck at the bar
G
A
D
It took six boys in blue to put him down
G

Put him down, oh, put him down, whoa

Big Roy Donoghue
G
D
had a simple way of living
He loved raising chickens
E
A
and you could trust him with your wife
G
D
But the devil friend he had in a bottle
A
D
Slowly cheated Roy out of his life
Oh, the county jail was a
G
home away from home
A
When Big Roy had a weekend on the town
D
He never made a booking,
G
just drank booze
A
D
And it took six boys in blue to put him down

Put him down, oh put him down, oh

Well, day Big Roy died,
G
D
it scarcely raided the mansion
Though I guess Matilda Jones,
E
the barmaid,
A
and the publican knew
G
D
But a lonely dog was gettin' no attention
A
D
He missed the love of Big Roy Donahue
Oh, it's strange how a man
G
can live and die
A
D
Without any loved ones of his own
There were six people
G
and a dog at the grave
A
D
And it took six boys in blue to put him down
G

Put him down, oh, put him down

Oh, it took six boys in blue
