The Irish Tenors - Off to Philadelphia lyrics

Off to Philadelphia Me name is Paddy Leary from a spot on Tipperary The hearts of all the girls I'm a thorn in But befall the break of morn, it is they who'll be forlorn For I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning cho: With me bundle on me shoulder, faith, there's no man can be bolder I'm leaving dear old Ireland without warning For I lately took the notion for to cross the briny ocean And I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning There's a girl named Kate Malone whom I hope to call me own To see my little cabin floor adornin But my heart is sad and weary, how can she be Mrs. Leary If I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning Chorus With me bundle on me shoulder, faith, there's no man can be bolder I'm leaving dear old Ireland without warning For I lately took the notion for to cross the briny ocean And I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning When they told me I must leave the place I tried to keep a cheerful face For to show me hearts deep sorrow I was scornin But the tears will surely blind me for the friends I left behind me When I'm of for Philadelphia in the morning cho 2: With me bundle on me shoulder sure there's no man can be bolder I'm leaving just the spot that I was born in Yet some day I'll take the notion to come back across the ocean To me home in dear old Ireland in the morning
