Wearing of the Green — текст песни (Judy Garland)

Oh, paddy dear and did you hear
The news that`s going `round
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground

Saint Patrick`s name no more you`ll hear
His colors can`t be seen
They`ve gone and passed a law against
The wearing of the green

Sure I looked to neighbor Tandy
And he took me by the hand
And he said how`s dear old Ireland
And how does she stand?

It`s a most distressful country
That ever you have seen
They`re hanging men and woman
For the wearing of the green

Repeat first two verses

Men and women,
For the wearing of the green.
