[00:00.00]Well it's by the hush, me boys
[00:03.32]and sure that's to hold your noise
[00:06.82]And listen to poor Paddy's sad narration
[00:12.72]I was by hunger pressed,
[00:15.82]and in poverty distressed
[00:19.13]So I took a thought I'd leave the Irish nation
[00:25.90]Here's you boys,
[00:28.35]now take my advice
[00:31.40]To America I'll have ye
[00:33.51]it's not be coming
[00:36.89]There is nothing here but war,
[00:39.90]where the murderin' cannons roar
[00:43.43]And I wish I was at home
[00:45.96]in dear old Dublin
[00:49.93]Well I sold me horse and cow,
[00:53.10]me little pigs and sow
[00:56.08]My little plot of land
[00:58.39]I soon did part with
[01:01.43]And me sweetheart Bid McGee,
[01:04.41]I'm afraid I'll never see
[01:07.90]For I left her there that morning
[01:10.15]broken-hearted
[01:14.05]Here's you boys,
[01:16.71]now take my advice
[01:19.47]To America I'll have ye
[01:21.84]it's not be coming
[01:24.84]There is nothing here but war,
[01:27.84]where the murderin' cannons roar
[01:31.00]And I wish I was at home
[01:33.21]in dear old Dublin
[01:48.40]Well meself and a hundred more
[01:51.25]to America sailed o'er
[01:54.44]Our fortunes to be made
[01:56.96]we were thinkin'
[02:00.01]When we got to Yankee land,
[02:02.78]they shoved a gun into our hands
[02:06.00]Saying "Paddy, you must go and fight for Lincoln"
[02:35.20]General Meagher to us he said,
[02:38.00]if you get shot or lose your leg
[02:41.18]Every murdered soul of youse
[02:43.55]will get a pension
[02:46.83]Well meself I lost me leg,
[02:49.80]they gave me a wooden peg,
[02:53.41]And by God this is the truth to you I mention
[03:00.10]Here's you boys,
[03:03.00]now take my advice
[03:06.77]To America I'll have ye
[03:09.32]it's not be coming
[03:13.00]There is nothing here but war,
[03:16.98]where the murderin' cannons roar
[03:20.46]And I wish I was at home
[03:23.27]in dear old Dublin
