"St. Patrick's Day" lyrics
Saint Patrick's day
For the shamrock make way
For the green, white and gold
And the harp, bright and old
With the great marching bands
Playing songs of Ireland
And the bright Irish eyes
Singing out to the skies
Where the Irish are seen
There'll be pride in the green
In Boston, New York
In Dublin and in Cork
For Saint Patrick's day
Is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say "Hip, hooray!"
For Saint Patrick's day
In New York, they'll be marching
The greatest to be seen
Pipers, there'll be piping
The orange, white and green
The Irish will remember
And dance the world around
In London and in Glasgow
And down in Melbourne Town
Oh, girls and boys from Dublin
Sing out those Irish songs
Rebels all from Donegal
Sing Ireland's rights and wrongs
In Boston and Chicago
We'll dance to jigs and reels
And sing the songs of Ireland
And of its four green fields
Saint Patrick's day
For the shamrock make way
For the green, white and gold
And the harp, bright and old
With the great marching bands
Playing songs of Ireland
And the bright Irish eyes
Singing out to the skies
Where the Irish are seen
There'll be pride in the green
In Boston, New York
In Dublin and in Cork
For Saint Patrick's day
Is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say "Hip, hooray!"
For Saint Patrick's day
Saint Patrick was a gentleman
Who came to Ireland's sod
He banished all the serpents
Away from Irish bogs
Some people say the devil
Was on Killarney's shore
So he never went to Kerry
Or so the story goes
He travelled out to Ulster
To Connacht and the West
And he went to royal Tara
And the King himself he blessed
To all the friends of Ireland
Who live the world around
Who want to share the day with us
A welcome's to be found
Saint Patrick's day
For the shamrock make way
For the green, white and gold
And the harp, bright and old
With the great marching bands
Playing songs of Ireland
And the bright Irish eyes
Singing out to the skies
Where the Irish are seen
There'll be pride in the green
In Boston, New York
In Dublin and in Cork
For Saint Patrick's day
Is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say "Hip, hooray!"
For Saint Patrick's day
So let's say "Hip, hooray!"
For Saint Patrick's day
For the shamrock make way
For the green, white and gold
And the harp, bright and old
With the great marching bands
Playing songs of Ireland
And the bright Irish eyes
Singing out to the skies
Where the Irish are seen
There'll be pride in the green
In Boston, New York
In Dublin and in Cork
For Saint Patrick's day
Is Ireland's greatest day
So let's say "Hip, hooray!"
For Saint Patrick's day
In New York, they'll be marching
The greatest to be seen
Pipers, there'll be piping
The orange, white and green
The Irish will remember
And dance the world around
In London and in Glasgow
And down in Melbourne Town
Oh, girls and boys from Dublin
Sing out those Irish songs

Sing Ireland's rights and wrongs

We'll dance to jigs and reels
And sing the songs of Ireland
And of its four green fields
