Thread Name: Lyr Req: Paddy's Dream (Wolfe Tones)
Subject: Wolfe Tones: Paddy's Dream Lyric Request
Hello,

I am also trying to find what the words are to Paddy's Dream. Now I have no other title than that, but the Wolfe Tones sung it at one of their concerts.

It is about a fellow who dreams of all these people visiting St. Peter trying to get into Ireland. The last one is Paddy, who tricks St. Peter and then locks St. Peter out. Paddy then says he'll give up heaven, the gate, and the crown if St. Peter will set the 6 counties free.

I know this isn't a lot to go on, but I've been thinking of this for nearly a year, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
