Testo di Paddy McCollough

Paddy McCollough was a fine young actor He played in the streets of Old Killonay He had a voice like a church bell ringing People would gather and they'd say, "There is a man who will play for the King There's a man who will sing for the Queen All the world's a stage for this fine young actor If Paddy can find the way" Paddy McCollough toured through all the Islands He played for Lords and for Ladies The woman swooned when he took the stage For he was a man who made ladies faint They'd say... The King he saw Paddy in the theatre A noble actor with a regal demeanor The King he laughed, and the Queen was blushing When Paddy walked through the door They said... Paddy McCollough lived a life of leisure The chief actor in the King's own play He sang for Lords and he sang for Ladies Until his final days Oh!... "There is a man who'll play for God in Heaven There's a man who'll teach the angels to sing All the world's a stage for this fine young actor Oh! Paddy he found the way! Yes! Paddy, he found the way! Aye! Paddy, he found the way!
