In Ireland many years ago or so the legend says
St. Patrick roamed hills and lands to drive his snakes away
But now we have another saint that's bad news for the crown
His name is One-Shot Paddy and it's Brits that he will hound
The Brits are getting worried, they've all gone underground
If One-Shot Paddy sees them, they'll know they're going down
So the next time that you see the Brits with a face that's full of fright
Watch out for One-Shot Paddy or his friend called Eamon Ryan
Through the hills of South Armagh the gallant hero roams
He'll wander through the countryside, he likes to pawn his home
And when he finds a target he will quietly take his aim
At his end that Jew will hear the crack and the Brits know who's to blame
The Brits are getting worried, they've all gone underground
If One-Shot Paddy sees them, they'll know they're going down
So the next time that you see the Brits with a face that's full of fright
Watch out for One-Shot Paddy or his friend called Eamon Ryan
So if you're in your home at night and a newsflash it is read
Your man from South Armagh's at work and other souls are dead
And when it comes to celebrate St. Patrick's Day cheer
Remember One-Shot Paddy and the gallant IRA
The Brits are getting worried, they've all gone underground
If One-Shot Paddy sees them, they'll know they're going down
So the next time that you see the Brits with a face that's full of fright
Watch out for One-Shot Paddy or his friend called Eamon Ryan
The Brits are getting worried, they've all gone underground
If One-Shot Paddy sees them, they'll know they're going down
So the next time that you see the Brits with a face that's full of fright
Watch out for One-Shot Paddy or his friend called Eamon Ryan
