Chorus: Biddy Rooney you drive me looney
Biddy Rooney where have you gone
Biddy Rooney on you I'm spoony
Did you see my Biddy Rooney anyone?

anyone who chanced to find her from her they may never part
They may take her bag and baggagetake her to the devil with all my heart

Now I will put it in the daily papers she's got drunk or stow somehow
Now I will put it in the daily papers my Biddy got lost in a row somehow

It shouldn't be too hard to find her as she goes walking down the street
You'll be sure to know my Biddy For she walks left handed with both feet




These are part of a series of recordings made by Helen Creighton at the behest of the Smithsonian. All of these tracks are from the singer Angelo Dornan, who lived in Elgin, NB at the time of recording. He was raised in New Brunswick - but spent most of his life in Saskatchewan, farming. When he was a child, he heard both of his parents singing, and it must have made a deep impression on him, as 60 years later, when he retired back to NB he remembered 125 songs that his parents used to sing when he was a child. Most of the repertoire is from Northern Ireland - as that's where his family came from.
