Paddy's Return

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh The train whistles loudly A man stepping out on the railway He's wearing the green army coat And his skin is pale and grey His black eyes under his cap He's looking so worn out He's turning to leave when someone's somewhere He suddenly shouts Did you get me, little buddy? I'm not telling you a lie But I guess you won't Hardly believe you're a lie And 'til we go his face returned He has seen all Regisburg Let's have a drink or two or three Hey, Paddy, what's your concern? Let them know his paddy's returned Paddy walked to the cottage The place where he used to be Give me a leg up, I will see it by my own eyes And I guess that you will agree He takes a look inside Lets his eyes on four sleeping men Then he comes to his mighty past them Already without knowing them We were all so certain as it believed You would never come back But as a cat you have nine lives And survived the attack And 'til we go, his face returned You're seeing all righteous birds Let's have a drink or two or three Hey, Paddy, what's your concern? Let them know if Paddy's returned Paddy strikes his matches It shines a little light Now he sees his own lads He says, now I know you're right One of the boys wakes up and lets His eyes on the road Get up, new boys, he cheers Let's take the old fella to his throne And 'til we go, his face returned You're seeing all righteous birds Let's have a drink or two or three Hey, Paddy, what's your concern? Let them know if Paddy's returned Let them know if Paddy's returned
