Wearing Of The Green - Robert Shaw Chorale/Robert Shaw/Thomas Motto

作曲：Traditional

O Paddy dear

And did ye hear the news that's goin' round

The shamrock is by law forbid

To grow on Irish ground

Saint Patrick's day we'll keep

His color can't be seen

For there's a funny law ag'in

The wearin' o' 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

So if the color we must wear be England's cruel red

So Island suns the never forget

That not that they have shed

Pull the take the shamrock from your hat

And pastick from the sod

But 'twill take root there

Though is think for underfoot 'tis trod

When laws can stop the blades

Of grass from growin' as they grow

And when the leaves in Summer-time

Never your dare not show

Then I will change the color too

I wear in my caubeen

But till that day please God

I'll stick to the wearin' o' the green

To the wearin' o' the green

To the wearin' o' the green
