Текст песни Come Back Paddy Reilly - Foster , Allen

The garden of Eden
Is vanished they say
But I know the lie of it still

Just turn to the left
At the bridge of Finay
And stop by half way
To Cote hill

Tis there I will find it
I know sure enough
When fortune has come to my call
The grass it is green
Around Ballyjamesduff
And the blue sky is over it all
And tones that are tender
And tones that are rough
Come whispering over the sea
Come back Paddy Reilly
To Ballyjamesduff
Come home Paddy Reilly
To me

Short instrumental break

My mother once told me
The day that I was born
The day that I first saw the light
I looked down the street
On that very first morn
And gave a great crow of delight

Now most new-born babies, appear in a huff
And start with a sorrowful squall
But I knew I was born in Ballyjamesduff
And that's why I smiled on them all
That baby's a man now
He's toil-worn and tough
Still whispers come over the sea
Come back Paddy Reilly
To Ballyjamesduff
Come home Paddy Reilly
To me

END
