'Twas St Patrick himself, sure, that set it;
And the sun on his labor with pleasure did smile,
And with dew from his eye often wet it.

And he called it the dear little shamrock of Ireland...

He built a church in Dublin town,
And on it put a steeple.

In the middle of March,
Wid her hand St. Patrick's arm on...

And may you be in heaven half an hour before the devil knows you're dead.
