[00:00.000] 作曲 : Joe English
[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
