COME BACK PADDY REILLY
Percy French 1854-1920

The Garden of Eden has vanished they say
But I know the lie of it still
Just turn to the left at the bridge of Finea
And stop when half way to Coote Hill
'Tis there I will find it I know sure enough
When fortune has come to my call
Oh, the grass it is green around Ballyjamesduff
And the blue sky is over it all

And tones that are tender and tones that are gruff
Are whispering over the sea
Come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff.
Come home Paddy Reilly to me

My mother once told me that when I was born
The day that I first saw the light
I looked down the street on that very first morn
And gave a great crow of delight
Now most new-born babies appear in a huff
And start with a sorrowful squall
But I know I was born in Ballyjamesduff
And that's why I smile on them all

The baby's a man now, he's toil-worn and tough
Still, whispers come over the sea
Come back Paddy Reilly to Ballyjamesduff
Come home Paddy Reilly to me
