Wearing O' the Green

Wearin' O' the Green (In the Style of Irish Band) (Demo Vocal Version) - ProSource Karaoke

"O Paddy dear

And did ye hear the news that's goin' 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 there's a cruel law ag'in the Wearino' the Green "

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 the Wearin' o' the Green "

But if at last

Her colors should be torn from Ireland's heart

Her sons with shame and sorrow

From the dear old soil will part;

I've heard whispers of a Country that lies far beyond sea

Where rich and poor stand equal

In the light of Freedom's day

O Erin must we leave you driven by the tyrant's hand

Must we ask a Mother's blessing

In a strange but happy land

Where the cruel Cross of England's thralldom never to be seen:

But where thank God we'll live and die

Still Wearing of the Green

"She's the most distressful country

That ever yet was seen

For they're hanging men and women

There for the Wearin' o' the Green "
