Welcome Poor Paddy Home |
| I am a true born Irishman |
| I’ll never deny what I am |
| I was born in sweet Tipperary town |
| Three thousand miles away |
| -Chorus- |
| Hurray me boys hurray |
| No more do I wish for to roam |
| For the sun it will shine in the harvest time |
| To welcome poor Paddy home |
| The girls thay are gay and frisky |
| They’d take you by the hand |
| Saying Jimmy mo chroi will you come with me |
| To welcome poor Paddy home |
| -Chorus- |
| In came the foreign nation |
| And scattered all over the land |
| The horse, the cow, the goat, sheep and sow |
| Came into the stranger’s hands |
| -Chorus- |
| The Scotsman can boast of the thistle |
| And England can boast of the rose |
| But Paddy can boast of the Emerald Isle |
| Where the dear little shamrock grows. |
| -Chorus- |
