《P.A.D.D.Y.》歌词

[00:00:00] Paddy - Gerry Carney

[00:00:09] From his window he watches as people

[00:00:14] They come and go on their way

[00:00:18] Rushing to catch the train homeward

[00:00:23] As he often did in his day

[00:00:28] He remembers the dark of the mornings

[00:00:32] And the days he worked in the rain

[00:00:37] The good times the bad times and the friends that he knew

[00:00:41] He'll never see them again

[00:00:46] At nights when the streets are deserted

[00:00:50] Except for the take away signs

[00:00:55] He thinks of the men that he worked with

[00:00:59] On the buildings the roads and the mines

[00:01:04] The girl that he met in the Galtee

[00:01:08] He thought he might make her his own

[00:01:12] Maybe if there was less drinking

[00:01:17] He wouldn't have wound up alone

[00:01:22] P is for powerful when put to the test

[00:01:26] A is for always doing you're best

[00:01:31] D is for doing if it can be done

[00:01:35] And D is for drinking when workin' was done

[00:01:40] Y is for yearning to see home again

[00:01:44] Proud to be Irish and hard working men

[00:01:49] Paddy remember though you're day is done

[00:01:53] You're the rock that England stands on

[00:02:00] You can never explain just what happened

[00:02:04] The years seem to pass like a day

[00:02:09] Was it the rain or the shovel

[00:02:13] Took the strength from his limbs away

[00:02:18] Sometimes he thinks of the boreen

[00:02:22] That led from his house to the lane

[00:02:27] And the fields that he worked with his father

[00:02:31] He'll never see them again

[00:02:36] P is for powerful when put to the test

[00:02:40] A is for always doing you're best

[00:02:45] D is for doing if it can be done

[00:02:49] And D is for drinking when workin' was done

[00:02:54] Y is for yearning to see home again

[00:02:58] Proud to be Irish and hard working men

[00:03:03] Paddy remember though you're day is done

[00:03:07] You're the rock that England stands on

[00:03:14] As he makes his way back to the shelter

[00:03:19] Rain starts to fall on the ground

[00:03:23] A young man just in from Cork City

[00:03:28] Asks him where work could be found

[00:03:32] He said son take a long look at Paddy

[00:03:36] And remember whatever you do

[00:03:41] This broken old man that you're seeing

[00:03:45] Was once a young fellow like you

[00:03:50] P is for powerful when put to the test

[00:03:55] A is for always doing you're best

[00:03:59] D is for doing if it can be done

[00:04:03] And D is for drinking when workin' was done

[00:04:08] Y is for yearning to see home again

[00:04:13] Proud to be Irish and hard working men

[00:04:17] Paddy remember though you're day is done

[00:04:21] You're the rock that England stands on
