the tumbling paddies - pat malone كلمات أغنية

[verse 1]
times were hard in irish town
everything was going down
pat malone was pushed for ready cash
he’d the life insurance spent
all his money, too, had went
and all of his affairs had gone to smash
now the wife spoke up and said
“now, dear pat, if you were dead
this twenty thousand dollars we could take.”
and so pat his best he tried
to look like he had died
until he smelled the whiskey at the wake

[chorus]
then pat malone forgot that he was dead
hе sat up in the coffin and he said
“if this wake should last a minutе
to be sure the corpse is in it
you’ll have to keep me drunk to keep me dead”

[verse 2]
so they gave the corpse a cup
afterward they filled it up
and laid him down again upon the bed
and before the morning grey
everybody felt so gay
they forgot that pat was only playing dead
so they loaded him from the bunk
not dead but rotten drunk
and put him in the coffin with a prayer
and the driver of the cart said
“be god, i’ll never start
until i see that someone pays the fare.”
[chorus]
then pat malone forgot that he was dead
he sat up in the coffin and he said
“if you fairly doubt my credit
you’ll be sorry that you said it
you drive on or else the corpse will break your head”

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
so the funeral started out
on the cemetery route
and the neighbors tried the widow to console
’till they got beside the base
of malone’s last resting place
and gently lowered patrick in the hole
then pat began to see just as plain as you or me
that he’d forgot to reckon on the end
and as clods began to drop
he broke loose the coffin top
and quickly to the earth he did ascend

[chorus]
then pat malone forgot that he was dead
and from the cemetery quickly fled
he had nearly made a blunder
he was d_mn near going under
but just like you or me he wasn’t dead
[instrumental outro]
