Damien Dempsey - They Don't Teach This Shit at School

Nyc Paddy

When I walk around this town, dear
I do belong here
Biddies came before and worked here
Built here, got killed here

Tyrants put them down and jeered them
Deep down feared them
'Cause they know that they couldn't get away
With what they had done back in Eireann yesterday

NYC paddy, NYC paddy
NYC paddy, NYC paddy

When I walk around in Brooklyn
Paddies still working
Wood side and the Bronx
Young Biddy, I know she loves me

People proud and strong
They won't be walked on
Walked on anymore
Biddy knows the score

Tell the children why
Irish people cry
Tell them who they are
And of the fight so far

NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy
NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy

Kathleen don't you cry
'Cause tomorrow, they'll be no sorrow
Things are lookin' up for Paddies
At home and overseas

Whether in New York, Perth
Or Gortahork, Brummy or Berlin
Paddies gonna win, Toronto, Kilburn
Sydney, Montserrat and Derry

Newfoundland or the Banna Strand of Kerry
Liverpool, Chicago, Manchester and Glasgow
We've been there and we've done that
Built those places and then sat

On the hills and thought of home
And traveling, Paddy always in roam
But she's stronger nowhere young biddy
Than the grand old town of NYC

NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy
NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy
NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy
NYC Paddy, NYC Paddy
