For the D sun it will A shine in the G harvest D time
To D welcome poor A Paddy D home D
The D girls they are A gay and G frisky D
They'd D take you A by the G hand A
Saying D Jimmy mo A chroi will you G come with D me
To D welcome the A stranger D home D
CHORUS:
Hur- D ray me A boys hur- D ray D

CHORUS:
Hur- D ray me A boys hur- D ray D

And D England can A boast of the G rose A
But D Paddy can A boast of the G Emerald D Isle
Where the D dear little A shamrock D grows D
CHORUS:
Hur- D ray me A boys hur- D ray D
No D more do I A wish for to G roam A
For the D sun it will A shine in the G harvest D time
To D welcome poor A Paddy D home
