Karaoké Come Back Paddy Shawn Cuddy

While sitting in my bedsit room in London

Some thoughts of my mother came to view

'Twas what she said the morning I was leaving

To travel far across the deep blue sea

She said, "Come back Paddy soon again to Ireland

Come back Paddy soon again to me

For I know that far off fields they do look greener

And old Ireland's the place I want to be"

It's twenty years ago now since that morning

I only wish my mother

I could see

But she is gone and

I'm still here in London

And old Ireland again

I'll never see

She said, "Come back Paddy soon again to Ireland

Come back Paddy soon again to me

For I know that far off fields they do look greener

And old Ireland's the place I want to be"

And now I'm back home in dear old Ireland

So sad my dear old mother's passed away

But I was young and far off fields they did look greener

And old Ireland again

I'll never stray

She said, "Come back Paddy soon again to Ireland

Come back Paddy soon again to me

For I know that far off fields they do look greener

And old Ireland's the place I want to be"

For I know that far off fields they do look greener

And old Ireland's the place I want to be"
