Judy Garland - The Wearing Of The Green слова песни
Oh, Paddy dear, and did you hearThe news that`s going round?The shamrock is forbid by lawTo grow on Irish ground!St. Patrick`s Day no more we`ll keep,His color can`t be seen,For there`s a bloomin` law agin`The wearing of the green.I met with Napper TandyAnd he took me by the hand,And he said, "How`s poor old IrelandAnd how does she stand?""She`s the most distressful countryThat ever yet was seen;They`re hanging men and women thereFor wearing of the green."Then since the color we must wearIs England`s cruel red,Sure Ireland`s songs will ne`er forgetThe blood that they have shed.You may take the shamrock from your hat now,Cast it on the sod,But `twill take root and flourish still,Tho` under foot it`s trod.When the law can stop the blades of greenFrom growing as they grow,And when the leaves in summertimeTheir verdue dare not show,Then I will change the color that IWear in my canteen;But `till that day, please God, I`ll stickTo wearing of the green
