Come Back Paddy Reilly

Come back Paddy Reilly to Balley James Duff
Come home Paddy Reilly to me
Oh, the grass it grows greener 'round Balley James Duff
Come home Paddy Reilly to me
In tones that are tender and tones that are gruff
Still whispers come over the sea
Come back Paddy Reilly to Balley James Duff
Come home Paddy Reilly to me
In tones that are tender and tones that are gruff
Still whispers come over the sea
Come back Paddy Reilly to Balley James Duff
Come home Paddy Reilly to me

My mother once told me that when I was born
The day that I first saw the light
I looked at the sky on that very first morn'
And gave a great crone of delight
Now most newborn babies appear in a huff
And start with a sorrowful squall
But I knew I was born in Balley James Duff
And that's why I smiled at them all
That baby's a man now he's tied, worn and tuff
Still whispers come over the sea
Come back Paddy Reilly to Balley James Duff
Come home Paddy Reilly to me
In tones that are tender and tones that are gruff
Still whispers come over the sea
Come back Paddy Reilly to Balley James Duff
Come home Paddy Reilly to me
