《The Wearing of the Green》歌词

[00:00:00] The Wearing of the Green - Various

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

[00:00:19] The news that's going round

[00:00:22] The shamrock is by law forbid

[00:00:26] To grow on Irish ground

[00:00:29] No more Saint Patrick's Day we'll keep

[00:00:33] His color can't be seen

[00:00:36] For there's a cruel law again the wearing of the green

[00:00:44] I met with Napper Tandy

[00:00:47] And he took me by the hand

[00:00:50] And he said

[00:00:52] How's poor old Ireland and how does she stand

[00:00:59] She's the most distressful country

[00:01:03] That ever yet was seen

[00:01:07] For they're hanging men and women there

[00:01:12] For the wearing of the green

[00:01:26] So if the color we must wear be England's cruel red

[00:01:32] Let it remind us of the blood that Irishmen have shed

[00:01:40] And pull the shamrock from your hat

[00:01:43] And throw it on the sod

[00:01:46] But never fear

[00:01:49] Twill take root there though underfoot tis trod

[00:01:54] When laws can stop the blades of grass

[00:01:58] From growing as they grow

[00:02:01] And when the leaves in summer-time

[00:02:05] Their color dare not show

[00:02:09] Then I will change the color too

[00:02:14] I wear in my caubeen

[00:02:18] But till that day

[00:02:21] Please God I'll stick to the wearing of the green
