Peggy Gordon - Paddy Reilly

In concert at Opera House, Cork
PEGGY GORDON

Chorus

O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

I am so deep in love that I can't deny it
My heart lies smothered in my breast
But it's not for you to let the whole world know it
A troubled mind can find no rest

Chorus

O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

I leaned myself on a cask of brandy
It was my fancy, I do declare
For when I'm drinking, I'm always thinking
Wishing Peggy Gordon was there

Chorus

O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

I wished I was in a lonesome valley
Where womankind cannot be found
And the pretty little birds do change their voices
And every moment a different sound

Chorus

O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

I wish I was away in Ingo
Far away across the briny sea
Sailing over deepest waters
Where love nor care never trouble me

Chorus

O Peggy Gordon, You are my darling
Come sit you down upon my knee
And tell to me the very reason
Why I am slighted so by thee

Paddy is easily in the TOP 10 Irish singers of all time...God Bless him, and keep him going....+++

[@mikemitchell5496]

The man is a above any other irish singer by a roscommon country mile no one comes close. His voice takes you back to a time when ireland was ireland .that generation that sadly are disappearing every day.keep well paddy

[@LFCftw63]

Him and Luke Kelly are awesome :-D I'm swiss but I love Irish music!

[@karmapeach]

your so right.Ireland needs to never forget Ireland.

[@patrickdevine4055]

mike mitchell my father from there and mullingar

[@sentimentaloldme]

You got to admire any man or woman that sings in their own accent straight from the heart..most of what we hear now days is forced falsetto type singing as if the person singing is in severe pain. That combined with every conceivable digital manipulation to contrive what is now called modern music. Even country music is gone to the dogs. The only ones I listen to are Adele and Ed Sheeren.

[@benjames9241]

You've got so much love inside of you ❤

[@justinw947]

His voice is perfect for this song,great version

[@seanthornton7367]

Fantastic song, great singer...👏

[@kathleencaulfield9251]

This song brings back great memories of my years in my first job a German man named Herrman used to sing this song brillantly on our nights out. They were great times as I began my working life. I hope he reads this😅

[@tmag5309]

My, my , my....what a lovely song. I was in Dingle recently with my father. It was our first and only trip to Ireland, given his age. I'll return someday with my son, but to hear this wonderful combo of acoustic guitar and fiddle play this song literally brought me to tears. What a joy. Thank you for posting this.

[@albertmccready478]

long time since this was posted ...did you ever come back to Ireland?

[@WJV9]

I heard a beautiful version of this song sung in a pub in County Cork by a young Irishman with a guitar. It was so heartfelt the whole pub was enchanted by the song and his voice. I must return to Ireland again to listen, sing and play music with these gifted musicians.

[@antoniousf]

Has to be one of my all time favourites, what a live performer paddy was. I grew up listening to this, pure genius

Just Brilliant I have listened to this version 20 times and each time it hits me the same way. Poignant lyrics supported by a pure and melodic masterful voice. Doesn’t really get much better than that in my opinion.

Paddy! Probably you'll never see this, but if you do, think of the Dubliner days with Christy, Danny, Mary, O'Connor and me. Kenny "Spinks". I live in Miami. Hope to catch up with you one of these days. Miss you man.

Oh Peggy Gordon, você é minha querida Venha sentar - se em meu colo E me diga a verdadeira razão Pela qual, eu sou tão menosprezado por ti Estou profundamente apaixonado que não posso negar Meu coração está sufocado em meu peito Mas não é para você deixar que o mundo inteiro saiba Uma mente perturbada não consegue encontrar descanso Eu me apoiei em um barríl de brandy Foi minha fantasia, eu declaro Porque quando eu estou bebendo, eu estou sempre pensando, Desejando que Peggy Gordon estivesse lá Eu queria estar em Ingo Longe, atravessando o mar salgado Navegando sobre as águas mais profundas Onde amor e o cuidado nunca me incomodam Oh Peggy Gordon, você é minha querida Venha sentar - se em meu colo E me diga a verdadeira razão Pela qual, eu sou tão menosprezada por ti
