Off To Philadelphia Lyrics - Heritage - The Irish Tenors

Off to Philadelphia 

Me name is Paddy Leary from a spot on Tipperary 

The hearts of all the girls I'm a thorn in 

But befall the break of morn, it is they who'll be forlorn 

For I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning 

cho: 

With me bundle on me shoulder, faith, there's no man can be bolder 

I'm leaving dear old Ireland without warning 

For I lately took the notion for to cross the briny ocean 

And I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning 

There's a girl named Kate Malone whom I hope to call me own 

To see my little cabin floor adornin 

But my heart is sad and weary, how can she be Mrs. Leary 

If I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning 

Chorus 

With me bundle on me shoulder, faith, there's no man can be bolder 

I'm leaving dear old Ireland without warning 

For I lately took the notion for to cross the briny ocean 

And I'm off to Philadelphia in the morning 

When they told me I must leave the place I tried to keep a cheerful face 

For to show me hearts deep sorrow I was scornin 

But the tears will surely blind me for the friends I left behind me 

When I'm of for Philadelphia in the morning 

cho 2: 

With me bundle on me shoulder sure there's no man can be bolder 

I'm leaving just the spot that I was born in 

Yet some day I'll take the notion to come back across the ocean 

To me home in dear old Ireland in the morning
