Welcome Poor Paddy Home

I am a true-born Irishman
I’ll never deny what I am
I was born in sweet Tipperary town
Three thousand miles away
Chorus
Hooray, me boys, hooray!
No more do I wish for to roam
For the sun it will shine in the harvest time
To welcome poor Paddy home
The girls, they are gay and frisky
And they’ll take you by the hand
Saying “Jimmy, mo chroí,” won’t you come with me?
To welcome this stranger home
In came that foreign nation
And they scattered all over our land
The horse and the cow, the goat, sheep, and sow
Came into the stranger’s hand
The Scotsman, he loves the thistle
And the Englishman, he loves the rose
But Paddy, he boasts of the emerald isle
Where the dear little shamrock grows

Cutting Down the Pines

Good friends, all come and listen while I sing to you this song
It’s all about us pinewood boys and how we’re getting along
We’re a jolly bunch of fellows, so merry and so fine
Who spend the winter pleasantly–cutting down the pines!
We all go out of a cheerful heart and a well-contented mind
For the wintry winds do not blow cold among the waving pines
And it’s long our saws and axes ring, until the sun goes down
Hurrah, me boys, for the day is done! To the shanty we are bound!
Let’s drink a health to townsfolk fair who safe at home remain
They’ll not be killed by falling logs, but neither will they gain
While we who risk will reap rewards of money in good store
And hope that it will last us till we travel back for more.
When springtime rolls around, how glad will be it’s day
Some will return to their homes and friends while others will wander away
When floating ice goes down, and business it does thrive
Three hundred able-bodied men–are wanted on the drive!
