[Verse]
I'm working here in Glasgow, I've got a decent job,
Carrying bricks and mortar and me pay is fifteen bob,
I raise up in the morning and I get up with the lark,
And as I'm walking down the street, you can hear the girls remark.

[Chorus]
"Hello, Patsy Fagan" you can hear the girls all cry,
"Hello, Patsy Fagan, you're the apple of me eye,
You're a decent boy from Ireland, there's no one can deny,
You're a rare em, a tare em, a devil may care em, a decent Irish boy."

[Verse]
Now if there's one among you would like to marry me,
I'll take her to me little home across the Irish Sea,
I'll dress you up in satin and please her all I can,
And let the people see that I'm a decent Irishman

[Chorus]
"Hello, Patsy Fagan" you can hear the girls all cry,
"Hello, Patsy Fagan, you're the apple of me eye,
You're a decent boy from Ireland, there's no one can deny,
You're a rare em, a tare em, a devil may care em, a decent Irish boy."

[Verse]
The day that I left Ireland, was many months ago,
I left me home in Antrim where the pigs and praties grow,
But since I left old Ireland, it's always been my plan,
To let you people see that I'm a decent Irishman.

[Chorus]
"Hello, Patsy Fagan" you can hear the girls all cry,
"Hello, Patsy Fagan, you're the apple of me eye,
You're a decent boy from Ireland, there's no one can deny,
You're a rare em, a tare em devil may care em, a decent Irish boy."

[Verse]
I'm working here in Glasgow, I've got a decent job,
Carrying bricks and mortar and me pay is fifteen bob,
I'll rise up in the morning and get up with the lark,
And as I'm walking down the street, you can hear the girls remark.

[Chorus]
"Hello, Patsy Fagan" you can hear the girls all cry,
"Hello, Patsy Fagan, you're the apple of me eye,
You're a decent boy from Ireland, there's no one can deny,
You're a rare em, a tare em devil may care em, a decent Irish boy."

[Chorus]
"Hello, Patsy Fagan" you can hear the girls all cry,
"Hello, Patsy Fagan, you're the apple of me eye,
You're a decent boy from Ireland, there's no one can deny,
You're a rare em, a tare em, a devil may care em, a decent Irish boy."

[Outro]
You're a decent boy from Ireland, there's no one can deny,
You're a rare em, a tare em, a devil may care em, a decent Irish boy.
