| [00:00.809] | I’m Paddy Magee, sir, from Ballinahee, sir |
| [00:05.430] | In an illigant ship I come over the say; |
| [00:08.646] | Father Donahoe sent me, my passage he lent me– |
| [00:11.724] | Sure, only for that, I’d a walked all the way! |
| [00:14.889] | He talked of America’s freedom and glory; |
| [00:18.019] | “Begorra,” says I, “that’s the counthry for me!” |
| [00:21.232] | So, to ind a long story, I’ve now come before ye |
| [00:24.258] | To give the opinions of Paddy Magee |
| [00:30.238] | Whin Ireland was needing, and famine was feeding |
| [00:32.905] | And thousands were dying for something to ate |
| [00:36.093] | ‘Twas America’s daughters that sent over the waters |
| [00:39.418] | The ships that were loaded with corn and whate: |
| [00:42.456] | And Irishmen sure will forever remember |
| [00:45.629] | The vessels that carried the flag of the free; |
| [00:48.799] | And the land that befriended, they’ll die to defend it |
| [00:52.114] | And that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee |
| [01:00.619] | I’m sure none are bowlder the musket to showlder |
| [01:03.977] | Enlisting to learn the sojering trade– |
| [01:07.050] | With Corcoran fighting, in Meagher delighting |
| [01:10.178] | They swell up the ranks of the Irish Brigade |
| [01:13.257] | With Columbia defying the bould British Lion |
| [01:16.528] | The sons of ould Ireland forever shall be; |
| [01:19.561] | I’ll have no intervention, if that’s their intention– |
| [01:22.818] | And that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee |
| [01:52.806] | John Bull, ye ould divil |
| [01:54.486] | Ye’d betther keep civil! |
| [01:56.024] | Remimber the story of ‘Seventy-six |
| [01:59.061] | Whin Washington glorious he slathered the Tories; |
| [02:02.330] | Away from Columbia you then cut your sticks |
| [02:05.359] | And if once again you’re inclined to be meddling |
| [02:08.578] | There’s a city that’s called New Orleans, d’ye see |
| [02:11.703] | Where Hickory Jackson he drove off the Saxon– |
| [02:14.881] | Now that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee |
| [02:23.478] | Though now we’re in trouble, it’s only a bubble |
| [02:26.833] | We’ll soon make the foes of the Union retire; |
| [02:29.954] | Foreign knaves that would meddle had better skedaddle |
| [02:33.170] | For them Uncle Sam has a taste of Greek fire! |
| [02:36.289] | They’ll find if they try it, Columbia’s a giant |
| [02:39.606] | And victory perched on the flag of the free; |
| [02:42.404] | For the American nation can whale all creation– |
| [02:45.575] | Now that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee |
| [02:51.477] | Now that’s the opinions of Paddy Magee |
