Oh, Paddy, dear and did you hear
the news that's goin' 'round?
The shamrock is forbid by law
to grow on Irish ground.
Saint Patrick's Day no more to keep;
His color can't be seen,
for there's a bloody law agin'
the wearin' of the green.
I met with Napper Tandy
and he took me by the hand,
and he said, "How's poor old Ireland
and how does she stand?"
She's the most distressful country
that ever you have seen.
They're hanging men and women there
For wearin' of the green.
