Damien Dempsey - NYC Paddy lyrics

When I walk around this town, dear I do belong here Biddies came before and worked here Built here, got k**ed here Tyrants put them down and jeered them Deep down feared them 'Cause they know that they couldn't get away With what they had done back in Eireann yesterday NYC paddy, NYC paddy NYC paddy, NYC paddy When I walk around in Brooklyn Paddies still working Wood side and the Bronx Young Biddy, I know she loves me People proud and strong They won't be walked on Walked on anymore Biddy knows the score Tell the children why Irish people cry Tell them who they are And of the fight so far NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy Kathleen don't you cry 'Cause tomorrow, they'll be no sorrow Things are lookin' up for Paddies At home and overseas Whether in New York, Perth Or Gortahork, Brummy or Berlin Paddies gonna win, Toronto, Kilburn Sydney, Montserrat and Derry Newfoundland or the Banna Strand of Kerry Liverpool, Chicago, Manchester and Glasgow We've been there and we've done that Built those places and then sat On the hills and thought of home And traveling, Paddy always in roam But she's stronger nowhere young biddy Than the grand old town of NYC NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy
