Hey St. Patrick - Albert Hammond

Came from an island way over the sea

I came from an island way over the sea

I came from an island way over the sea

And I learned of dreamers and fools just like me

I came to find work and I came to find love

I came to find work and I came to find love

I came to find work and I came to find love

I came 'cause back home no one gave me enough

Hey St. Patrick don’t leave me alone

Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam

Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home

Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

A girl in this town she was laughing at me

A girl in this town she was laughing at me

A girl in this town she was laughing at me

She laughed at my name and the way that I speak

Say you gotta look up in this skyscraper world

Say you gotta look up in this skyscraper world

Say you gotta look up in this skyscraper world

It’ll level your head, it’ll strengthen your

Hey St. Patrick don’t leave me alone

Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam

Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home

Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

I defended my honor last night in a bar

I defended my honor last night in a bar

I defended my honor last night in a bar

My face it was bloody, my hands were all star

We held our heads high and we’re proud of ourselves

We held our heads high and we’re proud of ourselves

We held our heads high and we’re proud of ourselves

We’re Irish and better than anyone else

Hey St. Patrick don’t leave me alone

Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam

Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home

Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

I’m locked up tonight behind bars made of steel

I’m locked up tonight behind bars made of steel

I’m locked up tonight behind bars made of steel

My problems are plenty, my troubles are real

I stand with a number of men just like me

I stand with a number of men just like me

I stand with a number of men just like me

Outnumbered we are, but courageous and free

Hey St. Patrick don’t leave me alone

Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam

Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home

Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

I’ll next week on a boat from New York

I’ll next week on a boat from New York

I’ll next week on a boat from New York

I’ll be hearing no more this American

I’ll sit round a fire with a warm pot of tea

I’ll sit round a fire with a warm pot of tea

I’ll sit round a fire with a warm pot of tea

And a family in Ireland that’s waiting for me

Hey St. Patrick don’t leave me alone

Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam

Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home

Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

Take me from Boston to county Tyrone
