[00:11.990]Oh, Paddy dear and did you hear the news that's goin' round?
[00:16.775]The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground
[00:21.548]Saint Patrick's Day no more we'll keep his colours can't be seen
[00:26.343]For they're hangin' men and women for the wearin' of the green
[00:32.451]I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand
[00:37.486]He said: "How's dear old Ireland and how does she stand?
[00:42.271]She's the most distressful country that you have ever seen
[00:47.057]For they're hangin' men and women for the wearin' of the green"
[00:51.828]For the wearin' of the green
[00:53.963]For the wearin' of the green
[00:56.888]They're hangin' men and women
[00:59.026]For the wearin' of the green
[01:03.006]Then since the colour we must wear is England's cruel red
[01:07.788]Sure Ireland's sons will ne'er forget the blood that they have shed
[01:12.835]You may take the shamrock from your hat and cast it on the sod
[01:17.619]But 'twill take root and flourish there though underfoot 'tis trod
[01:23.750]My father loved his country and sleeps within its breast
[01:28.524]While I that would have died for her must never so be blessed
[01:33.317]Those tears my mother shed for me how bitter they had been
[01:38.366]If I had proved a traitor to the wearin' of the green
[01:42.878]For the wearin' of the green
[01:45.274]For the wearin' of the green
[01:47.933]They're hangin' men and women
[01:50.069]For the wearin' of the green
[01:54.305]But if at last our colours should be torn from Ireland's heart
[01:59.089]Her sons with shame and sorrow from the dear old isle will part
[02:03.876]I've heard a whisper of a land that lies beyond the sea
[02:08.906]Where rich and poor stand equal in the light of Freedom's Day
[02:15.032]Oh Ireland must we leave you driven by a tyrant's hand
[02:19.820]And seek a mother's blessing from a strange and distant land
[02:24.609]Where the cruel cross of England shall never more be seen
[02:29.381]And in that land we'll live and die still wearing Ireland's green
[02:34.158]For the wearin' of the green
[02:36.289]For the wearin' of the green
[02:39.206]They're hangin' men and women
[02:41.337]For the wearin' of the green
[02:43.727]For the wearin' of the green
[02:46.137]For the wearin' of the green
[02:48.786]They're hangin' men and women
[02:50.927]For the wearin' of the green
