Verse
C# G#
I’m Paddy Magee, sir, from Ballinahee, sir
C# G# C#
In an illigant ship I come over the say;
C# G#
Father Donahoe sent me, my passage he lent me–
C# G# C#
Sure, only for that, I’d a walked all the way!
[Refrain]
C# G# F# C#
He talked of America’s freedom and glory;
C# G# F# G#
“Begorra,” says I, “that’s the country for me!”
C# G# F# C#
So, to ind a long story, I’ve now come before ye
C# G# C#
To give the opinions of Paddy Magee
[Verse 2]
C# G#
Whin Ireland was needing, and famine was feeding
C# G# C#
And thousands were dying for something to ate
C# G#
‘Twas America’s daughters that sent over the waters
C# G# C#
The ships that were loaded with corn and whate:
[Refrain]
C# G# F# C#
And Irishmen sure will forever remember
C# G# F# G#
The vessels that carried the flag of the free;
C# G# F# C#
And the land that befriended, they’ll die to defend it
C# G# C#
And that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee
[Verse 3]
C# G#
I’m sure none are bowlder the musket to showlder
C# G# C#
Enlisting to learn the sojering trade–
C# G#
With Corcoran fighting, in Meagher delighting
C# G# C#
They swell up the ranks of the Irish Brigade
[Refrain]
C# G# F# C#
With Columbia defying the bould British Lion
C# G# F# G#
The sons of ould Ireland forever shall be;
C# G# F# C#
I’ll have no intervention, if that’s their intention–
C# G# C#
And that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee
[Verse 4]
C# G#
John Bull, ye ould divil, ye’d betther keep civil!
C# G# C#
Remimber the story of ‘Seventy-six
C# G#
Whin Washington glorious he slathered the Tories;
C# G# C#
Away from Columbia you then cut your sticks
[Refrain]
C# G# F# C#
And if once again you’re inclined to be meddling
C# G# F# G#
There’s a city that’s called New Orleans, d’ye see
C# G# F# C#
Where Hickory Jackson he drove off the Saxon–
C# G# C#
Now that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee
[Verse 5]
C# G#
Though now we’re in trouble, it’s only a bubble
C# G# C#
We’ll soon make the foes of the Union retire;
C# G#
Foreign knaves that would meddle had better skedaddle
C# G# C#
For them Uncle Sam has a taste of Greek fire!
[Refrain]
C# G# F# C#
They’ll find if they try it, Columbia’s a giant
C# G# F# G#
And victory perched on the flag of the free;
C# G# F# C#
For the American nation can whale all creation–
C# G# C#
Now that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee
[Coda]
C# G# C#
Now that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee
