Come Back, Paddy Reiley Lyrics by A. Nolan

A Celtic Journey At Ease

0

[Verse 1]
The Garden of Eden has vanished they say
But I know the lie of it still
Just turn to the left at the bridge of Finea
And stop when halfway to Cootehill
It's there you'll find it I know sure enough
For fortune has come to my call
The grass it is green around Ballyjamesduff
And the blue sky is over it all
[Chorus]
And tones that are tender and tones that are rough
Come whispering over the sea
Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Come home, Paddy Reilly, to mе
[Verse 2]
My mother once told me that whеn I was born
The day that I first saw the light
I looked down the street on that very first morn
And gave a crow of delight
Now most newborn babies appear in a puff
And start with a sorrowful squall
But I knew I was born in Ballyjamesduff
And that's why I smiled at them all
[Chorus]
The baby's a man now, he's toil-worn and tough
Still, whispers come over the sea
Come back, Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Come home, Paddy Reilly, to me
Come home, Paddy Reilly, to me
