seldom sober - paddy goes to holyhead lyrics

oh, sing a song for ireland my young love said to me
the hills of connemara, banks of my lovely lee
so i tuned up my fiddle in the town of ballybay
oh sing for me and think of me she mournfully did say
sure i’m an ulster orangeman from erin’s isle i came
pure old dicey riley i’m still haunted by your name
i am a little beggarman and beggin’ i have been
in dr. johnson’s motorcar i’ll take you home kathleen

i’ve been a wild rover and i’ve been seldom sober
drank many a pint topped up with foam
i tramped the world over from brisbane to dover
but i long to be back home

limerick you’re a lady in the merry month of may
as i rode out to galway-town me heart is growing grey
if i were king of ireland and all thing at my will
i followed captain farrell and young eamonn of the hill
a long way to tipparary a long way from clare to here
now i curse the time it takes to reach my cavan girl so fair
tis of a brave young highwayman this story i will tell
you may talk and write and boast about and bid your last farewell

i’ve been a wild rover and i’ve been seldom sober
drank many a pint topped up with foam
i tramped the world over from brisbane to dover
but i long to be back home

- paddy goes to holyhead lyrics
