Patrick's Day Parade - song lyrics 
American Old-time song lyrics from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
PATRICK'S DAY PARADE. 
Saint Patrick was a gentleman, Sure his name we celebrate, And on the seventeenth of March The Irish concentrate-A bran new hat on each man's head, And a green necktie that's newly made; The left foot first, then lightly tread In the Patrick's day parade-Then two by two away we go, Up Broadway, through rain or snow; We'd face the divil, friend or foe, In the Patrick's day parade. 
Chorus. We shout hurrah for Erin-go-bragh And all the Yankee nation; Stars and stripes, And shamrock bright arrayed; The Irish shout, the girls turn out To see the celebration; We march, stiff as starch, in the Patrick's day parade. 
You should see the marshall on his horse, Like Napoleon Bonaparte: And as he rides along the line He'd break each lady's heart-And if the rain should fall down then. We hoist our umbrellas high; For history states that Irishmen Are always warm and dry-Then two by two away we go, Up Broadway, through rain or snow; We'd face the divil, friend or foe, In the Patrick's day parade.-Chorus. 
Then here's success to Patrick's day, Though it comes but once a year; And though I'm not a drinking man, On that day I'd drink my beerI'll wear the shamrock in my hat, The green, my boys, 'twill never fade And march along with Dan and Pat In the Patrick's day parade-Then two by two away we go, Up Broadway, through rain or snow; We'd face the divil, friend or foe, In the Patrick's day parade.-Chorus.
