Paddy Goes To Holyhead - Here's To The People lyrics

[chorus:] So, here′s to the people, a long way they come The emigrant races from merciless places are run So, here′s to the people, a long way they come The emigrant races from merciless places are run They don′t believe what the government said They don′t like to wait until they′re dead For thousands of reasons many have fled From animosity and bloodshed [chorus] Fathers and mothers, young and old Children and grannies along they strolled You don′t know the stories they were told Of the land they will behold [chorus]
