The Wearing of The Green - John McCormack (麦考梅克)
Written by：Traditional
Oh Paddy dear and did you hear
Of the news that's going round
The shamrock is by law forbid
To grow on Irish ground
No more Saint Patrick's day we'll keep
His color can't be seen
For there's a cruel law again
To the wearing of the green
Oh I met with Napper Tandy
And he took me by the hand
And he said
How's poor old Ireland
And how does she stand
She's the most distressful country
That ever yet was seen
For they're hanging men and women there
For wearing of the green
Then if the color we must wear is England's cruel red
Let it remind us of the blood
Of Ireland have shed
And take to the shamrock from your hat
And throw it on the sod
And never fear
It will take root there
Though underfoot it's trod
When laws can stop the blades of grass
From growing as they grow
And when the leaves in summer time
Their color dare not show
Then I will change the color too
I wear in my caubeen
But till that day
Please God I'll stick
To the wearing of the green
