Saint patrick was a gentleman he came from decent people

In dublin town he built a church and on it put a steeple

His father was a callahan his mother was a grady

His aunt was o'shaughnessy and uncle he was brady

Chorus :

Success to bold saint patrick's fist

He was a saint so clever

He gave the snakes an awful twist

And banished them forever

There's not a smile in ireland's isle where the dirty vermin musters

WhereÂ`er he put his dear forefoot he murderÂ`d them in clusters

The toads went hop the frogs went plop slap dash into the water

And the beasts committed suicide to save themselves from slaughter

Nine hundred thousand vipers blue he charmÂ`d with sweet discourses

And dined on them at killaloo anÂ` in the second courses

When blind worms crawling on the grass disgusted all the nation

He gave them a rise and openÂ`d their eyes to a sense of their situation

The wicklow hills are very high and soÂ`s the hill of howth sir

But there's a hill much higher still ay higher then them both sir

And it was on the top of his hill saint patrick preachÂ`d the "sarmint"

That drove the frogs into the bogs and bothered all the "varmint"
