Subject: Lyr Add: WELCOME POOR PADDY HOME From: Jörgen Date: 23 Apr 97 - 11:54 AM 1. I am a true born Irishman. I never deny what I am. I was born in sweet Tipperary town three thousand miles away. CHORUS: So hurray, me boys, hurray! No more do I wish for to roam. The sun it will shine in the harvest time, to welcome poor Paddy home. 2. The girls they are gay and frisky. They take you by the hand, Saying, "Jimmy machree, won't you come with me and welcome poor Paddy home?" CHORUS 3. In came a foreign nation. they scattered all over our land. The horse, the cow, the sheep, goat and sow fell into the stranger's hand. CHORUS 4. The Scotchman can boast of the thistle, and England can boast of the rose, But Paddy can boast of his Emerald Isle where his dear little shamrock grows. CHORUS |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Welcome Poor Paddy Home From: Malcolm Douglas Date: 16 Apr 03 - 08:01 PM As John Moulden mentioned a few years ago ( Seeking Irish Lyrics ) the song went from Willie McElroy to Cathal McConnell, and everybody else has learned it from them; mainly from Cathal's recording with Boys of the Lough. It doesn't seem to have been known before that. Noel Murphy would be rather a desperate move for a source; but just perhaps adequate if you can't find anything better. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Welcome Poor Paddy Home From: Beardy Date: 17 Apr 03 - 05:21 AM Ron Kavana also does a cracking version. |
|
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Welcome Poor Paddy Home From: GUEST,Nick Date: 17 Apr 03 - 08:16 AM I completely disagree with Noel Murphy being a desperate source...I'd take him over any line up of the Boys of the Lough...any day of the week. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Welcome Poor Paddy Home From: IvanB Date: 17 Apr 03 - 10:50 AM MMario, the only caveat to using the above abc is that verses 2-4 are sung to a tune that's more like the chorus than that of the first verse. At least that's how it was when I heard it. I haven't heard it by any other artist to have a reference point, so I can't say how "correct" that is or not. |

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Welcome Poor Paddy Home From: MMario Date: 17 Apr 03 - 11:05 AM oh crap! I should have paid more attention. *sigh* That's what I get for not listening to it first.... (but I'm listening to Rick Fielding at the moment - so not too upset...) |

Subject: Lyr Add: TO WELCOME POOR PADDY HOME From: Brían Date: 22 Apr 03 - 08:11 AM Here is a version I got from the singing of Len Graham when he was in Boston, MA. He unfortunately gives no background on the song: TO WELCOME POOR PADDY HOME Chorus: Hooray me boys, hooray No more do I wish for to roam For the sun it will shine in the harvest time To welcome Poor Paddy home
Repeat chorus: Repeat chorus: Repeat chorus: Repeat first verse Brían |

Subject: Lyr Add: WELCOME POOR PADDY HOME (Fenian version) From: GUEST,Lifted Kilt Date: 30 Jul 06 - 02:33 AM I am a true born Irishman, I'll never deny that I am- I was born in North Cork By the Limerick-Tip line, But it's now far away that I am... Chorus: Hurray, boys, hurray, No more do I wish for to roam- For the sun it will shine In the harvest time, To welcome Paddy home. Temptation made stronger by whiskey, And it took ye by the hand- Saying "Dear Mick McCree, Won't you come with me, And welcome the stranger in". Then came in the faraway stranger, And he settled all over the land- The horse and the cow, The goat and the sow, Came into the stranger's hand. And the stranger did plunder and pillage, And he robbed the poor countryfolk blind- Sowed the seeds of dissent, fear, and hatred, And he left faith and famine behind. Now the Scotman may boast of the thistle, And the English may boast of the rose- But Paddy alone can claim the Emerald Isle, Where the green three-leafed shamrock grows. Chorus |
