Oh, paddy dear and did you hear
|
The news that's going 'round
|
The shamrock is forbid by law
|
To grow on Irish ground
|
|
Saint Patrick's name no more you'll hear
|
His colors can't be seen
|
They've gone and passed a law against
|
The wearing of the green
|
|
Sure I looked to neighbor Tandy
|
And he took me by the hand
|
And he said how's dear old Ireland
|
And how does she stand?
|
|
It's a most distressful country
|
That ever you have seen
|
They're hanging men and woman
|
For the wearing of the green
|
|
Repeat first two verses
|
|
Men and women,
|
For the wearing of the green.
|
