歌曲歌詞
Oh paddy dear and did you hear
The news that's going 'round
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on irish ground
Saint patrick's name no more you'll hear
His colors can't be seen
For they're hanging men and women
For the wearing of the green
I met with napper tandy
And he took me by the hand
He said how's poor old ireland
And how does she stand
She's the most distressful country
That ever you have seen
They're hanging men and women
For the wearing of the green
For the wearing of the green
For the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women
For the wearing of the green
Then since the color we must wear
Is england's cruel red
Sure ireland's sons will n'er forget
The blood that they have shed
You may take the shamrock from your hat
And cast it on the sod
But 'twill take root and flourish still
Tho' underfoot 'tis trod
My father loved his country
And sleeps within' her breast
While I that would have died for her
May never be so blest
Those tears my mother shed for me
How bitter they'd have been
If I had proved a traitor to
The wearing of the green
For the wearing of the green
For the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women
For the wearing of 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
London has 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
Found the strange dist land
Where the cruel cross of england's
Thralldom never more be seen
And then in god we'll live and die
Still wearing of the green
For the wearing of the green
For the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women
For the wearing of the green
For the wearing of the green
For the wearing of the green
They're hanging men and women
For the wearing of the green
