Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Paddy an Irish folk song
I learned this from my father many years ago. You are almost there Malcolm.
Paddy
Verse
In the Emerald Isle of Erin,
There's a lass beyond comparin'
Sure there's no-one like her far as man can see
Tho' her daddy called her Paddy,
'Cos he'd hoped she'd be a laddie,
She's as sweet and dainty as a lass could be.
Chorus
You're a bit of a rogue with the mischief you're in Paddy
A chic of Auld Nick plain to see,
With a bit of a brogue that is most allurin' Paddy
Your ways are distractin' to me.
Two eyes always smilin', so sweet and beguilin'
The hew of the blue skies above,
And I'll state, sure as Fate, any man who meets you Paddy,
Is bound to be fallin' in love.
