Albert Hammond - Hey St. Patrick Lyrics

Came from an island way over the sea
I came from an island way over the sea
I came from an island way over the sea
And I learned of dreamers and fools just like me
I came to find work and I came to find love
I came to find work and I came to find love
I came to find work and I came to find love
I came 'cause back home no one gave me enough

Hey St. Patrick don't leave me alone
Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam
Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home
Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

A girl in this town she was laughing at me
A girl in this town she was laughing at me
A girl in this town she was laughing at me
She laughed at my name and the way that I speak
Say you gotta look up in this skyscraper world
Say you gotta look up in this skyscraper world
Say you gotta look up in this skyscraper world
It'll level your head, it'll strengthen your [?]

Hey St. Patrick don't leave me alone
Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam
Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home
Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

I defended my honor last night in a bar
I defended my honor last night in a bar
I defended my honor last night in a bar
My face it was bloody, my hands were all star
We held our heads high and we're proud of ourselves
We held our heads high and we're proud of ourselves
We held our heads high and we're proud of ourselves
We're Irish and better than anyone else

Hey St. Patrick don't leave me alone
Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam
Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home
Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

I'm locked up tonight behind bars made of steel
I'm locked up tonight behind bars made of steel
I'm locked up tonight behind bars made of steel
My problems are plenty, my troubles are real
I stand with a number of men just like me
I stand with a number of men just like me
I stand with a number of men just like me
Outnumbered we are, but courageous and free

Hey St. Patrick don't leave me alone
Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam
Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home
Take me from Boston to county Tyrone
Take me from Boston to county Tyrone

I'll [?] next week on a boat from New York
I'll [?] next week on a boat from New York
I'll [?] next week on a boat from New York
I'll be hearing no more this American [?]
I'll sit round a fire with a warm pot of tea
I'll sit round a fire with a warm pot of tea
I'll sit round a fire with a warm pot of tea
And a family in Ireland that's waiting for me

Hey St. Patrick don't leave me alone
Hey St. Patrick no more shall I roam
Hey St. Patrick I wanna go home
Take me from Boston to county Tyrone
Take me from Boston to county Tyrone
Take me from Boston to county Tyrone
