[C] I am a true born Irishman
I'll never [G] deny what [C] I am
I was born in sweet Tipperary town
[C] Three thousand [G] miles away
-Chorus-
[C] So hurray me [G] boys [C] hurray
No more do I wish for to [F] roam
[C] For the sun it will shine in the [Am] harvest time
[C] To welcome [G] poor Paddy [C] home
The girls thay are gay and frisky
They'd take you by the hand
Saying Jimmy McGuinn would you please come in
To welcome poor Paddy home
-Chorus-
In came the foreign nation
And scattered all over the land
The horse, the cow, the goat, sheep and sow
Came into the stranger's hands
-Chorus-
The Scotsman can boast of the thistle
And England can boast of the rose
But Paddy can boast of the Emerald Isle
Where the dear little shamrock grows.
-Chorus-
