Lyrics

I am a little boy just born just born now
Lookin’ at me Má she smile now
Carried to the room with the fishes on the wall now
Wanna walk gotta go to the sea now
Lookin’ at the boats and lookin’ at the sky
I will learn to fish I will learn to fly
Not a better fisherman there will ever be
Paddy and his boat on the raging sea
Dye dee diddle dum da diddly boom boom da

I am a bigger boy gonna see a pretty girl now
Not a better lookin’ girl I will see now
Drink a little whiskey and a bun in the oven now
Mad Daddy with a loaded gun now
A lovely sunny day as the wedding bells ring
We will learn to dance we will learn to sing
A happy little family you and me
Paddy and his boat on the raging sea
Dye dee diddle dum da diddly boom boom da

I am a bigger Man lookin’ at my little boy now
Wonder what he gonna be gonna see now
Will he be a doctor will he be a fisherman now
I wonder what to say now
Mamma screaming orders on a stormy day
You will fix the roof you will bail the hay
With a gleam in his eye, he wants to be
Paddy and his boat on the raging sea

I am an old man old man wise man now
Happy days happy life read a book now
Lookin’ at the picture and the trophies on the wall now
All me boys with a vessel and there fishin’ now
Written in a book are the words I see
This dream came true for you and me
Not a better fisherman there will ever be
Paddy and his boat on the raging sea

Dye dee diddle dum da diddly boom boom da
