Dervish - "Welcome Poor Paddy Home"

[jonesthephones]

Great - I particularly like the lightweight bouzouki/cittern backing. A real homesick-making sound for any self-respecting Irishman (or woman, of course)

[brianmsdk]

Magical!

I cannot belive that her voice sounds that amazing live.  She is fighting live outdoor and a video recorder as well and it alost makes me cry how good she is. Hands down one of the best singers I have ever heard!

[blushadow08]

great song, great band 5*

[empoficecream]

This song was made for Cathy and Dervish

Yeahhhhhh

[Khulanoo]

Great unique voice of Cathy and a wonderful band - a lovely rendition of a song from my childhood - long may you play on!

[erth2myk2b]

Glorious sounds from a glorious girl and her glorious musician friends. May they long be heard, remembered, and appreciated. See them live if you ever get the chance. You'll never regret it.

I am a true born Irish Man, I'll never deny who I am, I was born in sweet Tipperary Town, Three Thousand miles away,

chorus: Hurray, me boys, hurray, No more do I wish for to roam, For the sun it will shine,  In the harvest time, To welcome poor Paddy home, The Girls they are gay and frisky, They'd take you by the hand, Sayin' Jimmie Mo Croi, will come with me? And welcome poor Paddy home

[pookiedaenna]

Thanks for the lyrics! Been wondering about them for so long... Did you figure them out by ear?

[edboswell]

google search: "welcome paddy home lyrics" and bingo! they came up, do it all the time to find oblique lyrics. Cheers

[edboswell]

have a hard time figuring out the lyrics, but the tune is so sweet, it sounds great anyway

[edboswell]

3rd verse IN CAME THE FOREIGN NATION AND SCATTERED ALL OVER OUR LAND

THE HORSE THE COW, THE GOAT,SHEEP and SOW Came into the stranger's hands

==============================­=============== THE SCOTSMAN CAN BOAST OF THE THISTLE, THE ENGLISH CAN BOAST OF THE ROSE, BUT PADDY CAN BOAST OF THE EMERALD ISLE, WHERE THE DEAR LITTLE SHAMROCK GROWS

[Donegal]

Different version,more calm than in the album.
