Damien Dempsey - St. Patrick's Day lyrics

Mammy sings wonderfully Lamenting melodies Then daddy comes home from work He falls in and goes berserk The priest calls around for tea He always seems so terribly lonely Talks of industrial school As he looks at me so cruel On Paddy's Day Well, they marched in Amerikay On Paddy's Day Well they danced down Cricklewood way On Paddy's Day Well they sang around Botany Bay On Paddy's Day For my sanity I'll pray 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 13, both young and old Transport our poverty To a room and a ditch cross the sea On Paddy's Day Well, they marched in Amerikay On Paddy's Day Well they danced down Cricklewood way On Paddy's Day Well they sang around Botany Bay On Paddy's Day For my sanity I'll pray St. Patrick's Day St. Patrick's Day On Patrick's Day On Patrick's Day
