 Paddy’s Lamentation

Irish Sheep     White House      Listen Hamerica              The sheep

Well it's by the hush, me boys, and sure that's to hold your noise And listen to poor Paddy's sad narration I was by hunger pressed, and in poverty distressed So I took a thought I'd leave the Irish nation

Here's to you boys, now take my advice To America I'll have ye's not be coming There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

Well I sold me ass and cow, my little pigs and sow My little plot of land I soon did part with And me sweetheart Bid McGee, I'm afraid I'll never see For I left her there that morning broken-hearted

Here's to you boys, now take my advice To America I'll have ye's not be coming 

There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

Well meself and a hundred more, to America sailed o'er Our fortunes to be making we were thinkin' When we got to Yankee land, they put guns into our hands "Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln"

General Meagher to us he said, if you get shot or lose your leg Every murdered soul of you'se will get a pension Well in the war lost me leg, they gave me a wooden peg And by soul it is the truth to you I mention

Here's to you boys, now take my advice To America I'll have ye's not be coming 

There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin

Well I think meself in luck, if I get fed on Indianbuck And old Ireland is the country I delight in To the devil, I would say, it's curse Americay For the truth I've had enough of your hard fightin 

Here's you boys, now take my advice To America I'll have ye's not be going There is nothing here but war, where the murderin' cannons roar And I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin 

I wish I was at home I wish I was at home I wish I was at home I wish I was at home in dear old Dublin.

There is nothing here but war
