  1. The Hat My Father Wore (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    And when I cross the ocean,
    I hope for me you'll pay.
    I'm going to my happy land
    To a place called Ballymore
    To be welcomed back to 'Paddy's Land'
    With the hat my father wore.
    Chorus.
    III
    And when I do return
    The boys and girls to see,
    I hope that with old Erin's style
    You'll kindly welcome me.
    With the songs of dear old Ireland
    To cheer me more and more
    And make my Irish heart feel glad
    With the hat my Father wore.
    Chorus.
