Potatoes and Pots of Gold
What is it about the Irish folk
That make them be the butt of jokes
They drink and fight and eat all day
But it shouldn't give that much to say
They are a proud people of red hair
And red beards if they would dare
Famines and gangs and armies of such
They still exist and have not been touched
Ireland raves of green grasses and hills
The countryside horded with sheep and mills
The people are nice, but don't think twice
If you had two cents to not pick a fight
And if I had a good one wish to spare
I would surely wish to travel there
All in all I should be proud to say
I am Irish and glad to hail this way
