The Wearing Of The Green 
(D. Boucicault)
O Paddy dear, and did you hear the news that's going round?
The shamrock is by law forbid to grow on Irish ground;
St, Patrick's Day no more we'll keep, his colors can't be seen
For there's a cruel law against the wearing of the green.
The wearing of the green, aye.
The wearing of the green.
They're hanging men and women
For the wearing of the green.
I met with Napper Tandy and he took me by the hand
Saying, " How is dear 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
for the wearing of the green.
