[00:05.40]O Paddy dear
[00:06.44]And did ye hear the news that's goin' round
[00:09.39]The shamrock is by law forbid
[00:11.20]To grow on Irish ground
[00:13.69]Saint Patrick's day we'll keep
[00:15.60]His color can't be seen
[00:17.61]For there's a funny law ag'in
[00:19.59]The wearin' o' the green
[00:21.39]I met with Napper Tandy
[00:23.66]And he took me by the hand
[00:25.60]And he said
[00:26.44]How's poor old Ireland
[00:28.00]And how does she stand
[00:31.52]She's the most distressful
[00:32.78]Country that ever yet was seen
[00:35.72]For they're hanging men and
[00:37.86]Women there for the wearin' o' the green
[00:41.73]So if the color we must wear be England's cruel red
[00:45.52]So Island suns the never forget
[00:47.61]That not that they have shed
[00:49.63]Pull the take the shamrock from your hat
[00:51.74]And pastick from the sod
[00:53.54]But 'twill take root there
[00:55.62]Though is think for underfoot 'tis trod
[00:58.04]When laws can stop the blades
[01:00.11]Of grass from growin' as they grow
[01:02.26]And when the leaves in Summer-time
[01:04.85]Never your dare not show
[01:09.17]Then I will change the color too
[01:11.59]I wear in my caubeen
[01:14.11]But till that day please God
[01:18.68]I'll stick to the wearin' o' the green
[01:21.14]To the wearin' o' the green
[01:23.33]To the wearin' o' the green
