Lyrics
I am a true born Irish man
I'll never deny what I am
I was born in the sweet Tipperary boys
a thousand miles away
Hooray m' boys, hooray!
No more do I wish for to roam
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time
To welcome Paddy home
The girls they are young and they're frisky
And they'll take you by the hand
Singin' Timmy Machree won't you come home with me
And welcome a stranger home
Hooray m' boys, hooray!
No more do I wish for to roam
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time
To welcome Paddy home
And in came the far away strangers
And they settled all over our land
The horse and the cow, the gpat, sheep and sow
Fell into a stranger's hands
Hooray m' boys, hooray!
No more do I wish for to roam
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time
To welcome Paddy home
The Scotsman may boast of the Thistle
And the English may boast of the rose
But Paddy can boast of the Emerald Isle
Where the dear little Shamrock grows
Hooray my boys, hooray!
No more do I wish for to roam
The sun it will shine in the harvest time
To welcome Paddy home
Hooray m' boys, hooray!
No more do I wish for to roam
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time
To welcome Paddy home
