DEAD IRISH BLUES
Welcome Poor Paddy Home / Harvest Home (Live in Johnstown, PA)
Lyrics
I am a true born Irishman
I'll never deny what I am
I come from Tipararry town
Three thousand miles away

CHORUS
Horray me boys hooray
No more do I wish for to roam
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time
To welcome poor Paddy home

The girls are gay and frisky
They'll take you by the hand
Saying Johnny McCree won't you come with me
And welcome poor Paddy home

CHORUS

In came the foreign nation
And scattered us all cross the land
The ox and the sow and the sheep and the cow
Fell into the strangers hand

CHORUS

Well Scotland can boast of the thistle
And England can boast of the rose
But Paddy can boast of his emerald isle
Where the sweet little shamrock grows

CHORUS (X2)
