Paddy’s Day


Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh

Saint Patrick came to Ireland, in four thirty two.
He tried to make a christan out a me an’ out a you.
Held up a bit of shamrock, frightened all the snakes away.
And that’s why we still celabrate Paddys Day.

Paddys Day, A Paddys Day.
We’er going to have the craic and put a few pints away.
We march down the town with the shamrock on our chest.
Cause we are all Irish and us Irish are best.

Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy’s Day.
A Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy’s Day.

He lit a pascal fire upon the hill of Slane.
The Tara king he saw it and nearly went insane.
Very soon Saint Patrick the king he did convert.
Thats why we still have people a’ praying down in Clonfert.

A Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy’s Day.
A Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy’s Day.

Saint Patrick came to Ireland, in four thirty two.
He tried to make a christan out a me an out a you.
Held up a bit of shamrock frightened all the snakes away.
And that’s how we still celabrate Paddys Day.

Paddys Day, A Paddys Day.
We’er going to have the craic and put a few pints away.
We march down the town with the shamrock on our chest.
Cause we are all Irish and us Irish are best.

A Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy’s Day.
A Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy’s Day.

Saint Patrick came to Ireland, in four thirty two.
He tried to make a christan out a me an out a you.
Held up a bit of shamrock, frightened all the snakes away.
And that’s how we still celabrate Paddys Day.

Paddys Day, A Paddys Day.
We’er going to have the craic and put a few pints away.
We march down the town with the shamrock on our chest.
Cause we are all Irish and us Irish are best.

A Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy’s Day.
A Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy, Paddy’s Day.
