Letras de Wearing of the Green

O Paddy Dear, and did you hear
The news that′s going round?
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground
St. Patrick's name no more you′ll hear
His colors can't be seen
They've gone and passed a law
Against the wearing of the green

Sure I looked at neighbor Tandy
As he took me by the hand
And he said "How′s dear old Ireland
And how does she stand?"
It′s the most distressful country
That ever you have seen
They're hanging men and women
For the wearing of the green

O Paddy Dear, and did you hear
The news that′s going round?
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground
St. Patrick's name no more you′ll hear
His colors can't be seen
They′ve gone and passed a law
Against the wearing of the green

Men and women for the wearing of the green
