Paddy's Return

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

The train whistles loudly
A man stepping out on the railway
He's wearing the green army coat
And his skin is pale and grey
His black eyes under his cap
He's looking so worn out
He's turning to leave when someone's somewhere
He suddenly shouts
Did you get me, little buddy?

I'm not telling you a lie
But I guess you won't
Hardly believe you're a lie

And 'til we go his face returned
He has seen all Regisburg
Let's have a drink or two or three
Hey, Paddy, what's your concern?
Let them know his paddy's returned

Paddy walked to the cottage
The place where he used to be
Give me a leg up, I will see it by my own eyes
And I guess that you will agree

He takes a look inside
Lets his eyes on four sleeping men
Then he comes to his mighty past them
Already without knowing them

We were all so certain as it believed
You would never come back
But as a cat you have nine lives
And survived the attack

And 'til we go, his face returned
You're seeing all righteous birds
Let's have a drink or two or three
Hey, Paddy, what's your concern?
Let them know if Paddy's returned

Paddy strikes his matches
It shines a little light
Now he sees his own lads
He says, now I know you're right

One of the boys wakes up and lets
His eyes on the road
Get up, new boys, he cheers
Let's take the old fella to his throne

And 'til we go, his face returned
You're seeing all righteous birds
Let's have a drink or two or three
Hey, Paddy, what's your concern?
Let them know if Paddy's returned
Let them know if Paddy's returned
