One of the most poignant Irish songs Ive ever heard. Well its by the hush, me boys, and sure thats to hold your noise And listen to poor Paddys sad narration I was by hunger pressed, and in poverty distressed So I took a thought Id leave the Irish nation Heres to you boys, now take my advice To America Ill have yes 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 Well I sold me ass and cow, my little pigs and sow My little plot of land I soon did part with And me sweetheart Bid McGee, Im afraid Ill never see For I left her there that morning broken-hearted Well meself and a hundred more, to America sailed oer Our fortunes to be made we were thinkin But when we got to Yankee land, they shoved a gun into our hands Saying Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln Well I think meself in luck, if I get fed on Indian buck And old Ireland is the country I delight in With the devil, I do say, its curse Americay For I think Ive had enough of your hard fightin https://youtube/watch?v=at35oIfhMVM
