John McCormack - Wearing Of The Green (1912) 02:45
lyrics
Oh! Paddy, dear, and did you hear The news that's going round, The shamrock is by law forbid To grow on Irish ground. No more Saint Patrick's Day we'll keep His color can't be seen For they made a law against The wearing of the green. Oh I met with Napper Tandy And he took me by the hand And he said "How's poor old Ireland? And how does she stand?" She's the most distressful country That ever yet was seen For they're hanging men and women there For wearing of the green. Then if the color we must wear Is England's cruel red Let it remind us of the blood Old Ireland has shed You may take the shamrock from your Heart And throw it on the sod, But never fear it will take root there Tho' underfoot it's trod. When law can stop the leaves of grass From growing as they grow, And when their leaves in summer time Their color dare not show, Then I will change the color too I wear in my caubeen, But till that day, thank God I'll sing The wearing of the green.
