The Wearing of the Green - Various[00:00:00]

Oh Paddy dear and did you hear[00:00:16]

The news that's going round [00:00:19]

The shamrock is by law forbid[00:00:22]

To grow on Irish ground [00:00:26]

No more Saint Patrick's Day we'll keep [00:00:29]

His color can't be seen[00:00:33]

For there's a cruel law again the wearing of the green [00:00:36]

I met with Napper Tandy [00:00:44]

And he took me by the hand[00:00:47]

And he said [00:00:50]

How's poor old Ireland and how does she stand[00:00:52]

She's the most distressful country[00:00:59]

That ever yet was seen[00:01:03]

For they're hanging men and women there[00:01:07]

For the wearing of the green [00:01:12]

So if the color we must wear be England's cruel red[00:01:26]

Let it remind us of the blood that Irishmen have shed[00:01:32]

And pull the shamrock from your hat [00:01:40]

And throw it on the sod[00:01:43]

But never fear [00:01:46]

Twill take root there though underfoot tis trod [00:01:49]

When laws can stop the blades of grass[00:01:54]

From growing as they grow[00:01:58]

And when the leaves in summer-time[00:02:01]

Their color dare not show[00:02:05]

Then I will change the color too[00:02:09]

I wear in my caubeen[00:02:14]

But till that day [00:02:18]

Please God I'll stick to the wearing of the green[00:02:21]
