PADDY AND THE WHALE |
Paddy O’Brian left Ireland in glee; |
He had a strong notion old England to see; |
He shipped in the Nellie, for England was bound |
And the whiskey he drank made his head go around |
Cho: Laddy whack, fol de dol, fol de rol I dee dee * |
O, Paddy been never sailing before; |
It made his heart ache when he heard the loud roar; |
For the glance of his eye, a whale he did spy: |
«I'm going to be ate,» says Paddy,"by-and-by" |
O, Paddy run forward and caught hold of the mast |
He grasped his arms round and there he held fast |
The boat gave a tip, and, losing his grip |
Down in the whale’s belly poor Paddy did slip |
He was down in the whale six months and five days |
Till luck one day to his throat he did pop |
The whale give a snort and then give a blow |
And out on the land poor Paddy did go |
O, Paddy is landed and safe on the shore; |
He swears that he 'll never go to sea any more |
The next time he wishes old England to see |
It will be when the railroad runs over the sea |
Note: Alternate chorus I’ve heard is: |
Caterwaulin', Tarpaulin', Harpoonin' and all |
