Paddy McCollough Lyrics

Paddy McCollough was a fine young actor

He played in the streets of Old Killonay

He had a voice like a church bell ringing

People would gather and they'd say,

"There is a man who will play for the King

There's a man who will sing for the Queen

All the world's a stage for this fine young actor

If Paddy can find the way"

Paddy McCollough toured through all the Islands

He played for Lords and for Ladies

The woman swooned when he took the stage

For he was a man who made ladies faint

They'd say...

The King he saw Paddy in the theatre

A noble actor with a regal demeanorSt. Patrick's Day - Paddy McCollough - http://motolyrics.com/st-patricks-day/paddy-mccollough-lyrics.html

The King he laughed, and the Queen was blushing

When Paddy walked through the door

They said...

Paddy McCollough lived a life of leisure

The chief actor in the King's own play

He sang for Lords and he sang for Ladies

Until his final days

Oh!...

There is a man who'll play for God in Heaven

There's a man who'll teach the angels to sing

All the world's a stage for this fine young actor

Oh! Paddy he found the way!

Yes! Paddy, he found the way!

Aye! Paddy, he found the way!
