On Saint Patrick's day
A joyful sound and with
Shamrocks all around
And little children's laughter
Fills the air and we'll
Celebrate Saint Patrick's day
This Irish feast a welcome sight
A beacon shining pure and bright

In fields of green the shamrocks sway
Joyful hearts celebrate this day
Laughter rings, as friends unite
Wishing luck and pure delight

And the little children are hand in hand
Across the streets a joyful band
Smiling and laughing having fun on
Saint Patrick's day and 
Their faces painted and
A time of joy banishing all fear

And from Newry to Derry City 
The celebrations hold their sway
And the little leprechauns are laughing
Hiding in the fields of the morning mist
The Irish spirit strong and ever true
A heritage of legends shining bright

And Newry is the place to be
The history rich a heritage deep and 
In Newry's old streets secrets to keep 
So come to Newry on Saint Patrick's Day 
And enjoy this beautiful precious day

So let us toast with grateful cheer
To Patrick's soul held ever dear 
His journey's end a peaceful sleep
While his memories sweet we'll gently keep 
Our hero Saint Patrick and 

In vibrant hues a festive scene
Irish blessings warm and true

And on Saint Patrick's Day
The memories we cherish
And so may the love and luck
Of the Irish be with you
All around the world
On this very special and
Loving peaceful day
So God bless you all
And may you all have
A magical and happy
Peaceful Saint Patrick's Day.

David P Carroll.
