-8 -7  7   6    6  6 -4   6   6
Saint Pat-rick was a gen-tle-man
-6* 7   -7 -6* -5 -6*  -7  -8...
And he came of de-cent peo-ple
-8-7 7  6   6   6   -4   6   6
In Dub-lin town he built a church
-6* 7  -7 -6* -5 -6* -7  -8...
And he put a-pont a stee-ple
-8  7   10  10 -9* 10 -9 -8
His fa-ther was a Wol-lo-gan
 7   7   10 10 -9*10...-8
His moth-er was a Gra- dy
 7   7   10  10 -9*10 -9* 10
His aunt she was a Kin-ni-gan

And his wife the wid-ow Bra- dy

Then success to bold St. Pat-ricks fist
-6* 7  -7 -6* -5  -6*  -7  -8...
For he was a saint so clev-er
-8-7 7   6    6     6   -4   6   6
He gave the snakes and toads a twist
10...10  -8    -8  -7  7-6*6
And ban-ish’d them for-ev-er
