[00:00:00] The Wearing of the Green - John McCormack

[00:00:00] Written by：Traditional/Dion Boucicault

[00:00:16] Oh Paddy dear and did you hear

[00:00:20] The news that's going round

[00:00:23] The shamrock is by law forbid

[00:00:27] To grow on Irish ground

[00:00:30] No more Saint Patrick's Day we'll keep

[00:00:34] His color can't be seen

[00:00:37] For there's a cruel law again the wearing of the green

[00:00:45] I met with Napper Tandy

[00:00:49] And he took me by the hand

[00:00:51] And he said

[00:00:53] How's poor old Ireland and how does she stand

[00:01:01] She's the most distressful country

[00:01:05] That ever yet was seen

[00:01:08] For they're hanging men and women there

[00:01:13] For the wearing of the green

[00:01:27] And if the color we must wear be England's cruel red

[00:01:34] Let it remind us of the blood that Irishmen have shed

[00:01:42] And pull the shamrock from your hat

[00:01:45] And throw it on the sod

[00:01:48] But never fear

[00:01:51] Twill take root there though underfoot tis trod

[00:01:56] When laws can stop the blades of grass

[00:02:01] From growing as they grow

[00:02:03] And when the leaves in summer-time

[00:02:08] Their color dare not show

[00:02:12] Then I will change the color too

[00:02:17] I wear in my caubeen

[00:02:21] But till that day

[00:02:24] Please God I'll stick to the wearing of the green
