  1. The Wearin' O' the Green

    Today is the day fer the wearin' o' the green.
    Today is the day when the little people are seen.
    Today is St. Patrick's Day, so if ye'r Irish me lad,
    Join the celebratin' fer the grandest time ta' be had.
    Ya' put yer hand up in the air, the other hand on your hip.
    Ya' tap yer toe, ya' tap yer heel, ya' bounce yer knee a wee bit.
    Ya' prance 'n dance around the room, n' circle one two three.
    The saints be praised, I must admit, ya' all look Irish ta' me.

  5. St. Patrick's Day Is Here


    St. Patrick's Day is here, you see.
    We'll pick some shamrocks, one, two, three.
    We'll count the leaves and look them over,
    And maybe find a four-leafed clover.
    I'll sew green buttons on my vest,
    Green for St. Patrick is the best.
    I'll wear a green hat, very high,
    And dance a jig - at least I'll try!

  7. I'll Wear a Shamrock


    St. Patricks Day is with us,
    The day when all that's seen
    To right and left and everywhere
    Is green, green, green!

    And Irish tunes they whistle
    And Irish songs they sing,
    Today each Irish lad walks out
    As proud as any king.

    I'll wear a four-leaf shamrock
    In my coat, the glad day through,
    For my father and mother are Irish
    And I am Irish too!

    An' the dear ones behind me a leaving -,

  15. St. Patrick Brings A Promise

    Poet: Unknown

    It ought to come in April, or, better yet, in May,
    when everything is green as green - I mean St. Patrick's Day.
    With still a week of winter this wearing of the green
    seems rather out of season - it's rushing things, I mean.
    But may be March is better when all is done and said:
    St. Patrick brings a promise, of springtime just ahead!

    Poet: Juliea A. Sullivan

    There's a dear old Irish saying
    That is murmured o'er and o'er
    "When misfortunes close around you,
    Shure God leaves an open door."

    Oh, the blessed faith of Ireland
    That descends through all the years!
    Oh, the loving trust and patience,
    That can drive away all fears!

    For when trials come upon us,
    Disappointments sad and sore;
    Seek we still with hope and courage,
    Seek and find His open door.
