Ireland’s Saint Patrick’s Day Song
The story of St Patrick’s Day
(begin) so long ago
The lyrics in this song
Will tell you All you need to know
The seventeenth of March
Is when this joyous holiday
Is celebrated happily
With colorful parades
Dee Lai Dee Dai
Dee Dai Dee Dai
Dee Lai Dee Dai
Dee Dai Hum…Hum…
Patrick (be) only sixteen when
The pirates (capture )him
They (sell) him to slavery
And (take) him to Ireland
He (keep) the faith
And (make) his escape
When he (be) twenty-two
And (make) it back to Britain
‘Twas the only home he (know)
Patrick (have) a vision
To return to Ireland
And (vow) to teach Christianity
Until the bitter end
Legend says that
Patrick (use)
The shamrock to explain
That the Father, Son and Holy Ghost
Are all and one the same
On this day the Irish dress
In many shades of green
And some are feeling lucky
With the leprechauns they’ve seen
It’s music and fun for everyone
We’ll party and we’ll play
Come one, come all
Come join along
On this St. Paddy’s Day!
