Damn! Replace "My" on the last line of each verse with "The". Never mind, I'll do it, meself!
Paddy Dylan's "Times They are a Changing"
Come gather round people wherever you be And I'll sing you a verse of "The Rose of Tralee" And if you know three chords you can play it with me Coz I'm not too big on arranging And I hope you don't mind If I sing out of key For the voice it keeps a changing.
Come Fiddlers Come whistlers come Mandolins all And we'll play in a circle, our backs to the wall And if some wee girl dances We'll all have a ball Coz we love to see pretty young maidens And if I play a bum note Don't blame me at all For the strings they need a changing.
Come Fathers Come Mothers and raise up your glass Oh my God poor ould Paddy just fell on his arse He'll be cursing tomorrow, his leg in a cast And his wife will surely be raging. Oh and once I was slow Now I'm singing real fast For the underwear needs a changing!

Much better. "O'Dylanesque", if I must say so meself, meself!
