"Plough On Paddy" lyrics

Given on to him through generations
The forty acres he holds in his hands
He learned to plow the fields and read the weather
And talk about the soul and the spirit of the land

Plough on, Paddy, plough on
Better days of life have been and gone
There's nothing left for you but the ground you stand upon
So plough on, Paddy, plough on

You wandered far across the raging ocean
Soon you found not every sky is blue
The streets you never knew have left you lonely
But the stone walls and the meadows won't always wait for you

To plough on, Paddy, plough on
Better days of life have been and gone
There's nothing left for you but the ground you stand upon
So plough on, Paddy, plough on

Hey
Come on, Paddy
Woah

Now I'm sitting all alone except for memories
The crops are in, the turf is home and dry
And the passing years won't ever make it easy
Although the times are changing, you know you have to try

To plough on, Paddy, plough on
Better days of life have been and gone
There's nothing left for you but the ground you stand upon
So plough on, Paddy, plough on

Plough on, Paddy, plough on
Better days of life have been and gone
There's nothing left for you but the ground you stand upon
So plough on, Paddy, plough on
Oh plough on, Paddy, plough on

Oh plough on, Paddy, plough on
