Paddle Your Canoe The Wolfe Tones

I've travelled about a bit in me time
Of troubles I've seen a few
I found it far better in every clime
To paddle me own canoe

Me wants they are small. I care not at all
Me debts they are paid when due
I drive away strife from the ocean of life
And paddle me own canoe

And I have no wife to bother me life
No lover to prove untrue
The whole day long I laugh with the song
And paddle me own canoe

So love everybody, trust only the few
As the world I go travelling through
And never sit down with a tear and a frown
But paddle your own canoe

I rise with the lark from daylight to dark
I do what I have to do
I'm careless in wealth. I've only me health
To paddle me own canoe

And I have no wife to bother me life
No lover to prove untrue
The whole day long I laugh with the song
And paddle me own canoe
