Thread Name: Lyr Req: Paddy and the Whale
Subject: RE: Lyr: Paddy O'Brien left Ireland in glee.
The version I know is
Paddy Maloney left the isle of green he had a strange notion to sail the front sea He set a whale hatchet boys called Georgie About The whale the she fished made his head turn about
Capt's haulin Cod Callin, Harpoonin and more
Now Paddy he's never been sailin before It made his heart beat when he heard a loud roar A whale at night off the masthead did cry Oh my god said poor Paddy I'll be et by and by
capt
Then Paddy was torrid and he reached for the mast He took hold of the gripper and then he held fast The boat she gave a tip boys and Pad lost his grip And into the whales belly the silly fool slipped
capt
He was in that whales belly for 6 months and a day till one morin by chance to it's throat he made way That whale she gave a hooch boys and then she did blow A mile into the air went ol Paddy Maloney
capt
Now Paddy got landed quite safe on the shore And he swears he'll not go to sea any more The next time he has such adventures of notion It'll be when the railway runs over the ocean
Next time I think I'll cut and past that felt like alot of typing to me. Off to work w/ me
