Paddy 歌詞

Paddy - Gerry Carney

From his window he watches as people

 

They come and go on their way

 

Rushing to catch the train homeward

 

As he often did in his day

 

He remembers the dark of the mornings

 

And the days he worked in the rain

 

The good times the bad times and the friends that he knew

 

He'll never see them again

 

At nights when the streets are deserted

 

Except for the take away signs

 

He thinks of the men that he worked with

 

On the buildings the roads and the mines

 

The girl that he met in the Galtee

 

He thought he might make her his own

 

Maybe if there was less drinking

 

He wouldn't have wound up alone

 

P is for powerful when put to the test

 

A is for always doing you're best

 

D is for doing if it can be done

And D is for drinking when workin' was done

 

Y is for yearning to see home again

 

Proud to be Irish and hard working men

 

Paddy remember though you're day is done

You're the rock that England stands on

 

You can never explain just what happened

 

The years seem to pass like a day

 

Was it the rain or the shovel

 

Took the strength from his limbs away

 

Sometimes he thinks of the boreen

 

That led from his house to the lane

 

And the fields that he worked with his father

 

He'll never see them again

 

P is for powerful when put to the test

 

A is for always doing you're best

 

D is for doing if it can be done

 

And D is for drinking when workin' was done

 

Y is for yearning to see home again

 

Proud to be Irish and hard working men

 

Paddy remember though you're day is done

 

You're the rock that England stands on

 

As he makes his way back to the shelter

 

Rain starts to fall on the ground

 

A young man just in from Cork City

 

Asks him where work could be found

 

He said son take a long look at Paddy

 

And remember whatever you do

 

This broken old man that you're seeing

 

Was once a young fellow like you

 

P is for powerful when put to the test

 

A is for always doing you're best

 

D is for doing if it can be done

 

And D is for drinking when workin' was done

 

Y is for yearning to see home again

 

Proud to be Irish and hard working men

 

Paddy remember though you're day is done

 

You're the rock that England stands on
