       C                                        G                      C

â€쳌Hello, Patsy Fagan!" you can hear the girls all cry,

                      Am                        G      D       G

"Hello, Patsy Fagan, you're the apple of my eye !

                C                                                                              F

You're a decent boy from Ireland, and there's no one can deny,

               C                                                   G                C

you're a harum-scarum, devil-may-carum decent Irish boy.



            C                                             G                C

1. I'm working here in Glasgow, I've got a decent job,

                                           Am                   G      D         G

    I’m carrying bricks and mortar, and me pay is fifteen bob.

       C                                                            F

    I rise up in the morning, I get up with the lark,

                C                                                               G                      C

    and when I'm walking down the street, you can hear the girls remark :



                     C                                          G                   C

2. Well, the day that I left Ireland, 'twas many months ago,

                               Am                      G             D         G

    I left my home in Ulster where the pigs and praties grow.

            C                                                                  F

    But since I left old Ireland, it’s always been my plan,

       C                                             G                C

    to let you people see that I'm a decent Irishman.    + CHORUS



            C                                                          G                  C

3. Now if there's one among you, who would like to marry me,

                                 Am                G          D       G

    I'll take you to my little home across the Irish Sea.

            C                                                       F

    I'll dress you up in satin, I’ll do the best I can,

         C                                           G                C

    to let the people see that I'm a decent Irishman.    + CHORUS
