From: wilbyhillbilly I've been searching and searching for an actual song that tells the story of St Patrick and I have come to the conclusion that there isn't one. Can some clever Catter please prove me wrong and point me in the direction. Not any of the thousands of "St Patrick DAY" songs, thank you. I live in hope! |

16 Mar 18 - 10:45 AM (#3911414) Subject: RE: St Patrick Song? From: Tattie Bogle We used to sing "St Patrick Was a Gentleman" when I was in primary school in Suffolk! (MANY years ago!) Another in the Community Songs for Schools book. Not sure that we had ALL of those verses as in the version in the DT (as "Patrick was a Gentleman": and we also had a different tune for it than that shown in the DT, in jig timing. |

PATRICK Lyrics: Leo McCaffrey On the eighth day of March it was, some people say That Saint Patrick at midnight, he first saw the day While others declare 'twas the ninth he was born But 'twas all a mistake between midnight and morn Mistakes will occur in the hurry and shock While some blamed the baby and some blamed the clock Till with all their cross questions, sure no one could know If the clock was too fast or the child was too slow Now the first faction fight in old Ireland, they say It was all on account of Saint Patrick's birthday Some fought for the eighth, for the ninth more would die And who wouldn't see right, sure they blackened his eye Till at last both the factions so positive grew They each kept a birthday, so Pat then had two Till Father Mulcahy, who showed them their sins Said no one could have two birthdays, but a twins Says he, "Boys, don't be fighting for eight or for nine Don't be always dividing, and sometimes combined Combine eight with nine, seventeen is the mark So let that be his birthday". "Amen," says the clerk “If he wasn't a twin, sure our history will show That at least he's worth any two saints that we know.” Then we all got blind drunk, which completed our bliss And we keep up the practice from that day to this ST. PATRICK'S DAY Lyrics JOHN MAYER Here comes the cold Break out the winter clothes And find a love to call your own You - enter you Your cheeks a shade of pink And the rest of you in powder blue Who knows what will be But I'll make you this guarantee No way November will see our goodbye When it comes to December it's obvious why No one wants to be alone at Christmas time In the dark, on the phone You tell me the names of your brothers And your favorite colors I'm learning you And when it snows again We'll take a walk outside And search the sky Like children do No way November will see our goodbye When it comes to December it's obvious why No one wants to be alone at Christmas time And come January we're frozen inside Making new resolutions a hundred times February, won't you be my valentine? And we'll both be safe 'til St. Patrrick's Day We should take a ride tonight around the town and look around at all the beautiful houses something in the way that blue lights on a black night can make you feel more everybody, it seems to me, just wants to be just like you and me No one wants to be alone at Christmas time Come January we're frozen inside Making new resolutions a hundred times February, won't you be my valentine? And if our always is all that we gave And we someday take that away I'll be alright if it was just 'til St. Patrick's Day ON ST PATRICK’S DAY (to the tune of "Skip to My Lou") Author unknown Let's wear green and dance a jig, Let's wear green and dance a jig, Let's wear green and dance a jig, On St. Patrick's Day. Let's find a clover with four leaves, Let's find a clover with four leaves, Let's find a clover with four leaves, On St. Patrick's Day. Let's look for leprechauns on their way, Let's look for leprechauns on their way, Let's look for leprechauns on their way, On St. Patrick's Day. Let's search for gold at the rainbow's end, Let's search for gold at the rainbow's end, Let's search for gold at the rainbow's end, On St. Patrick's Day. Hope this helps a little. |
