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 my 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 my 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 my underwear needs a changing!

Damn! Replace "My" on the last line of each verse with "The".
Never mind, I'll do it, meself!

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

Good stuff, Jim! You had me croaking along ... O'Dylanesque indeed!

"And we'll play in a circle, our backs to the wall" -

Hmmm - I guess we're sitting in a round room! But, come to think, sounds like something O'Dylan would say!

Though I know that British Empire should be banished from this land,
With their rifles in their hands
And I'm to stoned to stand so I'll try creeping.
And sometimes it amazes me, I'm standing on my feet,
I can hardly keep the beat
And if you think I can sing you must be dreaming.

Hey! Mr. Mandoleen Man, play a song for me.
Too Ra Loo Ra Lee.......
