The Wearing Of The Green - Peggy Lee

作词：Traditional

作曲：Traditional

Oh Paddy dear and did you hear

The news that's going round

The shamrock is forbid by law

To grow on lrish ground

St Patrick's Day no more to keep

His color can't be seen

For there's a bloomin' law agin'

The wearing of the green

| met with Napper Tandy

And he took me by the hand

And said he how's dear old lreland

And how does she stand

She's the most distressful country

That ever you have seen

They're hanging men and women

For wearing of the green

When the law can stop the blades of green

From growing as they grow

And when the leaves in summertime

Their verdue dare not show

Then I will change the color that |

Wear in my canteen

But 'till that day please God I'll stick

To wearing of the green
