I haven't any gold to leave when I grow old
Somehow it passed me by.
I'm very poor but still, I left a precious will
When I had to say goobye.
I left the sunshine :-6 to the shamrocks
I left the spring-time to the peat
And to the auld folk I left a memory
Of a coleen upon their knees.
I left the night time to the drinkers
I left the daytime to the bog
I leave the moon above to those I loved
When I left my heart :-4 behind.
When I left it all behind................................ :-1 Come home Paddy Reilly to BallyJamesDuff, Come home Paddy Reilly to me, Brendan O'Dowda 1959
