Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Paddy McCollough was a fine young actor
\nHe played in the streets of Old Killonay
\nHe had a voice like a church bell ringing
\nPeople would gather and they’d say,<\/p>\n

“There is a man who will play for the King
\nThere’s a man who will sing for the Queen
\nAll the world’s a stage for this fine young actor
\nIf Paddy can find the way”<\/p>\n

Paddy McCollough toured through all the Islands
\nHe played for Lords and for Ladies
\nThe woman swooned when he took the stage
\nFor he was a man who made ladies faint
\nThey’d say…<\/p>\n

The King he saw Paddy in the theatre
\nA noble actor with a regal demeanor
\nThe King he laughed, and the Queen was blushing
\nWhen Paddy walked through the door
\nThey said…<\/p>\n

Paddy McCollough lived a life of leisure
\nThe chief actor in the King’s own play
\nHe sang for Lords and he sang for Ladies
\nUntil his final days
\nOh!…<\/p>\n

“There is a man who’ll play for God in Heaven
\nThere’s a man who’ll teach the angels to sing
\nAll the world’s a stage for this fine young actor
\nOh! Paddy he found the way!
\nYes! Paddy, he found the way!
\nAye! Paddy, he found the way!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
