Songs (continued)
“Where is now the merry party I remember long ago”
(continued from previous page)The hat my Father wore.I am Paddy Myles an Irish boy
I came across the sea
For singing and for dancing
I think I can please ye
I can sing and dance with any man
As they did in days of yoe'r
St. Patrick's day I long to wear
The hat my father wore.
Tis old but it is beautiful
The like you ne'er hath seen

In this little Isle so green
It sprang from our relations
And descended with galore
St. Patrick's day I long to see
The hat my father wore.The Croppy Boy
Good men and true in this house who dwell
To a strange buacall I pray you tell
Is the Priest at home or may he be seen

But you must wait till I go and see(continues on next page)
