The Irish Rovers — Rambling Paddy

[Verse 1] Rambling Paddy, it's time to come home And stop all your rambling around You haven't a job and you haven't a plan It's time you were settling down [Verse 2] I haven't a job but I work when I want I'm free as a bird on the wing I sing for me supper and fiddle some tunes And I wouldn't go changing a thing [Chorus] Te-rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle-da Rowdily-dowdily-tirramanay Rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle Da-whack-fol-da-diddly-dan-day [Verse 3] Rambling Paddy, come down from the hills It's time you were changing your life Give over your roving and rambling ways And look for a comely wee wife [Verse 4] If I look for a wife, I never would find One who would ramble with me With me horse and mе dog and me old caravan We're happy as any can bе [Chorus] Te-rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle-da Rowdily-dowdily-tirramanay Rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle Da-whack-fol-da-diddly-dan-day [Verse 5] Rambling Paddy, you're mad as they come I think you've gone soft in the head You haven't the sense to come out of the rain And a bundle of hay is your bed [Verse 6] Ah, maybe you're right, and maybe you're wrong And maybe I'm mad as can be Or maybe I'm wiser than anyone else For being the master of me [Chorus] Te-rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle-da Rowdily-dowdily-tirramanay Rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle-da Whack-fol-da-diddly-dan-day [Instrumental] [Verse 7] Rambling Paddy, it's time to come home And stop all your rambling around You haven't a job and you haven't a plan It's time you were settling down [Verse 8] I haven't a job but I work when I want I'm free as a bird on the wing I sing for me supper and fiddle some tunes Sure, I wouldn't go changing a thing [Chorus] Te-rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle-da Rowdily-dowdily-tirramanay Rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle Da-whack-fol-da-diddly-dan-day [Chorus] Te-rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle-da Rowdily-dowdily-tirramanay Rowdily-dowdily-tithery-aye-diddle Da-whack-fol-da-diddly-dan-day
