Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
Mammy sings wonderfully
Lamenting melodies
Then Daddy comes home from work
He falls in and goes beserk
Priest calls around for tea
He always seemed so terribley lonely
Talks of Industrial School
As he looks at me so cruel
On Paddy's Day
Where they march in Amerikay
On Paddy's Day
Where they dance down Cricklewood Way
On Paddy's Day
Where they sang round Botnay Bay
On Paddy's Day
For my sanity, I'll pray
(Just the same as the verses)
Da fought the black and Tans
So did our Uncle Dan
Then there was Civil War
and we ne'er saw Dan anymore
We all have to walk to Cobh
A family of thriteen both young and old
Transport our poverty
To a room and a ditch 'cross the sea
On Paddy's Day
Where they march in Amerikay
On Paddy's Day
Where they dance down Cricklewood Way
On Paddy's Day
Where they sang round Botnay Bay
Em
On Paddy's Day

For my sanity, I'll pray
