Clasped to the Pig - Irish Folk

Clasped to the Pig, It was published in the 1860s under the name Leave me to Sleep, Biddy and seems to have come from the Traveling community.
its a kind of a comedy song about a man who drank a bit too much and ended up sleeping beside a pig.
Lyrics:
Oh backwards and forwards I am reeling in tight
And it was some spree that I’d been at last night
I’ve been to McCarthy’s with Patsy O’Maher
And we drank the black bottle from under the bar
And we drank and we drank boys we banished all care
And we gave not a thought to foul weather nor fair
And now on the floor I am curled up in a heap
Biddy leave me to sleep Biddy leave me to sleep
Oh well over my head in the days that are gone
Well gaily I flurried my knotty black thorn
And if but only I had it tonight
Well maybe I would not be offered a fight
Oh and if Pat Murphy I chances to meet
It’s terrible ruction that we’d have on the street
And he’ll soon be glad in his knot hole to creep
Biddy leave me to sleep Biddy leave me to sleep
Oh drop down by the pig here and share his embrace
And let my red whiskers lie close to your face
This créatúir won’t hurt you he’ll do you no harm
Drop down here Biddy and keep my back warm
And squeeze up beside me as you’ve oft done before
I’ll sing you to sleep with the sounds of my snore
The rats and the mice all around us will creep
Biddy leave me to sleep Biddy leave me to sleep
For I’m clasped to a pig in a loving embrace
And the hairs of his curly tail are tickling my face
There’s no use in telling me sober to keep
Biddy leave me to sleep Biddy leave me to sleep
