(Traditional - Arr. Gbs / Benoit / Guinchard)
2
Its of an Irishman I'm going to tell you
3
Free from Ireland sailed away
4
Where he was to he was not contended
5
Made up his mind for to go away
6
Early next morning the ship was sailing
7
Queenstown harbour, Cobh of Cork
8
Eight long days he was sailing over
9
Till he landed in New York
10
Up the street young Paddy wandered
11
Each big building caught his eye
12
Looking up at a big shop window,
13
A bottle of whisky he did spy
14
Into the bar young Paddy entered
15
Called for a drink, without delay
16
Give me a drop of that Irish Whisky,
17
Four big coppers I will pay
18
The landlord he jumped over the counter
19
"Pay me down that bill", he said
20
Paddy up with a big shillelagh
21
Laid him on the floor right dead
22
So the Yankees they came running
23
When they heard about the row
24
Trying to kill poor Irish Paddy,
25
Shouting out, "Where is he now?!"
26
Irishmen they followed after
27
Following without delay
28
Each of them with a big shillelagh,
29
Made the Yankees run away
30
May God's success to his Irish people
31
Many's the country they have roamed
32
But their courage is far bolder
33
When they're far away from home
