Paddy Fahey's Jig - Lyrics
Paddy was good
Paddy was bright
Oh Lord, fiddledy diddledy
Paddy was gentle
Paddy was kind
Oh Lord, fiddlledidee
Paddy had heart
right from the start
Oh Lord, fiddledy diddledy
Paddy was shy
a genuine guy
Oh Lord, fiddledidee
Born to be an Irishman
The year the rising had begun
With music all around his home
he’d grow up learning
He performed to have some fun
he played the jigs, they’d dance along
Paddy thought up many tunes
he’d send them reeling
Paddy was pure
Paddy was nice
Oh Lord, fiddledy diddledy
Paddy was true
and never blue
Oh Lord, fiddledidee
Paddy wrote songs
and played them all night
Oh Lord, fiddledy diddledy
Paddy alrighty
Paddy almighty
Oh Lord, fiddledidee
He’d hide behind the fiddle played
a private man to all displayed
but to everyone’s dismay
he’d stay home farming
Everybody loved his tunes
and even in the afternoon
they would play his songs all day
until the morning
Paddy was gifted
Paddy was smart
Oh Lord, fiddledy diddledy
Paddy was witty
Paddy was wise
Oh Lord, fiddledidee
Paddy was humble
Paddy was shy
Oh Lord, fiddledy diddledy
Paddy was just
a genuine guy
Oh Lord, fiddledidee
and to this day they play his songs
and everybody sings along
a gift he left to everyone
dancing and reeling
He touched the hearts of every soul
his songs were fast, his songs were slow
the love he left he did bestow
on all who had heard him
Paddy was good
Paddy was bright
Oh Lord, fiddledy diddledy
Paddy was gentle
Paddy was kind
Oh Lord, fiddlledidee
Paddy had heart
right from the start
Oh Lord, fiddledy diddledy
Paddy was shy
a genuine guy
Oh Lord, fiddledidee
