Chorus:
On Paddy's Day
Where they march in Amerikay
On Paddy's Day
Where they dance down Cricklewood Way
On Paddy's Day
Where they sang round Botnay Bay
On Paddy's Day
For my sanity, I'll pray
(Just the same as the verses)
Da fought the black and Tans
So did our Uncle Dan
Then there was Civil War
and we ne'er saw Dan anymore
We all have to walk to Cobh
A family of thriteen both young and old
Transport our poverty
To a room and a ditch 'cross the sea
Chorus
On Paddy's Day
Where they march in Amerikay
On Paddy's Day
Where they dance down Cricklewood Way
On Paddy's Day
Where they sang round Botnay Bay
On Paddy's Day
F# G---------------G
