Subject: Lyr Add: TO WELCOME POOR PADDY HOME
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

  1. Farewell to the Shamrock Shore
    No longer can I stay
    I intend to cross the ocean
    Bound for Americay


    2. Repeat chorus:

  2. And when we're on the ocean
    You're always on my mind
    I'm thinking of old Ireland
    And the friends I'm leaving behind


    3. Repeat chorus:

  3. Now to conclude and finish
    May fortune always prove kind
    My toast will be so far away
    To the friends I'm leaving behind


    4. Repeat chorus:

    Repeat first verse
