Damien Dempsey - N.y.c. Paddy lyrics

rate me

When I walk around this town, dear

I do belong here

Biddies came before and worked here

Built here, got killed here

Tyrants put them down and jeered them,

Deep down feared them

Coz they know that they couldn't get away

With what they had done back in Eireann yesterday

NYC paddy, NYC paddy, NYC paddy, NYC paddy

When I walk around in Brooklyn

Paddies still working

Woodside and the Bronx

Young Biddy I know she loves me

People proud and strong

They won't be walked on

Walked on anymore

Biddy knows the score

Tell the children why

Irish people cry

Tell them who they are

And of the fight so far

NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy

Kathleen don't you cry, coz tomorrow

They'll be no sorrow

Things are lookin' up for Paddies

At home and overseas

Whether in New York, Perth or Gortahork, Brummy or Berlin

Paddies gonna win

Toronto, Kilburn, Sydney, Montserrat and Derry

Newfoundland or the Banna Strand of Kerry

Liverpool, Chicago

Manchester and Glasgow

We've been there and we've done that

Built those places and then sat

On the hills and thought of home

And travelling Paddy always in roam

But she's stronger nowhere young biddy

Than the grand old town, of NYC

NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy

NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy<br />
