The Wearing of the Green - John McCormack[00:00:00]

Written by：Traditional/Dion Boucicault[00:00:00]

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

The news that's going round[00:00:20]

The shamrock is by law forbid[00:00:23]

To grow on Irish ground[00:00:27]

No more Saint Patrick's Day we'll keep[00:00:30]

His color can't be seen[00:00:34]

For there's a cruel law again the wearing of the green[00:00:37]

I met with Napper Tandy[00:00:45]

And he took me by the hand[00:00:49]

And he said[00:00:51]

How's poor old Ireland and how does she stand[00:00:53]

She's the most distressful country[00:01:01]

That ever yet was seen[00:01:05]

For they're hanging men and women there[00:01:08]

For the wearing of the green[00:01:13]

And if the color we must wear be England's cruel red[00:01:27]

Let it remind us of the blood that Irishmen have shed[00:01:34]

And pull the shamrock from your hat[00:01:42]

And throw it on the sod[00:01:45]

But never fear[00:01:48]

Twill take root there though underfoot tis trod[00:01:51]

When laws can stop the blades of grass[00:01:56]

From growing as they grow[00:02:01]

And when the leaves in summer-time[00:02:03]

Their color dare not show[00:02:08]

Then I will change the color too[00:02:12]

I wear in my caubeen[00:02:17]

But till that day[00:02:21]

Please God I'll stick to the wearing of the green[00:02:24]
