St. Patrick's Day - The Wolfe Tones

Saint Patrick’s day

For the Shamrock make way

For the green, white and gold

And the harp, bright and old

With the great marching bands

Playing songs of Ireland

And the bright Irish eyes

Singing out to the skies

Where the Irish are seen

There’ll be pride in the green

In Boston, New York

In Dublin and in Cork

For Saint Patrick’s day

Is Ireland’s greatest day

So let’s say «Hip, hooray!»

For Saint Patrick’s day

In New York, they’ll be marching

The greatest to be seen

Pipers, there’ll be piping

The orange, white and green

The Irish will remember

And dance the world around

In London and in Glasgow

And down in Melbourne Town

Oh, girls and boys from Dublin

Sing out those Irish songs

Rebels all from Donegal

Sing Ireland’s rights and wrongs

In Boston and Chicago

We’ll dance to jigs and reels

And sing the songs of Ireland

And of it’s four green fields

Saint Patrick’s day

For the Shamrock make way

For the green, white and gold

And the harp, bright and old

With the great marching bands

Playing songs of Ireland

And the bright Irish eyes

Singing out to the skies

Where the Irish are seen

There’ll be pride in the green

In Boston, New York

In Dublin and in Cork

For Saint Patrick’s day

Is Ireland’s greatest day

So let’s say «Hip, hooray!»

For Saint Patrick’s day

Saint Patrick was a gentleman

Who came to Ireland’s sod

He banished all the serpents

Away from Irish bogs

Some people say the devil

Was on Killarney’s shore

So he never went to Kerry

Or so the story goes

He travelled out to Ulster

To Connacht and the West

And he went to royal Tara

And the King himself he blessed

To all the friends of Ireland

Who live the world around

Who want to share the day with us

A welcome’s to be found

Saint Patrick’s day

For the Shamrock make way

For the green, white and gold

And the harp, bright and old

With the great marching bands

Playing songs of Ireland

And the bright Irish eyes

Singing out to the skies

Where the Irish are seen

There’ll be pride in the green

In Boston, New York

In Dublin and in Cork

For Saint Patrick’s day

Is Ireland’s greatest day

So let’s say «Hip, hooray!»

For Saint Patrick’s day

So let’s say «Hip, hooray!»

For Saint Patrick’s day
