- Sinéad OConnor Paddy's Lament 歌詞
- Sinéad OConnor
- Well its by the hush, me boys
And thats to mind your noise And listen to poor Paddys sad narration I was by hunger stressed And in poverty distressed So I took a thought Id leave The Irish nation Well I sold me horse and cow My little pigs and sow My fathers farm of land I then departed And me sweetheart Bid McGee Im afraid Ill never see For I left her there that morning Broken-hearted Here ye boys Now take my advice To America Ill have ye Not be coming There is nothing here but war Where the murderin cannons roar And I wish I was at home In dear old Dublin Well meself and a hundred more To America sailed oer Our fortunes to be making We were thinkin When we got to yankee land They put guns into our hands Saying 'Paddy, you must go And fight for Lincoln' Here ye boys Now take my advice To America Ill have ye Not be coming There is nothing here but war Where the murderin cannons roar And I wish I was at home In dear old Dublin General Meagher to us he said If you get shot or lose your head Every mothers son of youse Will get a pension Well in the war I lost me leg And all Ive nows a wooden peg And by soul it is the truth To you I mention Here ye boys Now take my advice To America Ill have ye Not be coming There is nothing here but war Where the murderin cannons roar And I wish I was at home In dear old Dublin Well I think meself in luck If I get fed on Indianbuck And old Ireland is the country I delight in To the devil I would say God curse Americay For in truth Ive had enough Of your hard fightin Here ye boys Now take my advice To America Ill have ye Not be going There is nothing here but war Where the murderin cannons roar And I wish I was at home In dear old Dublin I wish I was at home I wish I was at home I wish I was at home In dear old Dublin
