A young girl sings of her love, Paddy, and follows him into Ballinaboy and Clifden in County Galway. She secretly peeks into the windows to glance at Paddy's wife (it is her bitter sorrow, that she is not the wife of Paddy ! ) At the Irish Roots Cafe we refer to this song as " I wanna be Paddy's Girl ' ! .
She deserves to be the one to come back in the boat with Paddy, and she's worn out the soles and heels of her shoes, in the stalking of Paddy, (and perhaps it would be ok if his current loved tripped and broke her leg) ! Sung by Mike O'Laughlin at the Irish Roots Cafe.

chorus:
S é'n trua ghear nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua ghear nach mise bean Pháidín
'S é'n trua ghear nach mise, nach mise
'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

Rachainn go haonach an Chlocháin
Is siar go Béal Á' na Báighe
Bhreathnóinn isteach tríd an bhfuinneog
Ag' súil is go bhfeicfinn bean Pháidín

chorus:
S é'n trua ghear nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua ghear nach mise bean Pháidín
'S é'n trua ghear nach mise, nach mise
'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

Rachainn go Gallaí' go Gallaí'
Is rachainn go Gallaí' le Pháidín
Rachainn go Gallaí' go Gallaí'
Is thiocfainn abhaile sa mbád leis

(chorus)

Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
Go mbristear do chosa 'bean Pháidín
Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
Go mbristear do chosa 's do chnámha

(chorus)

Chaith mé mo bhróga, mo bhróga
Chaith mé mo bhróga i ndiaidh Pháidín
Chaith mé mo bhróga, mo bhróga
Chaith mé na boinn is na sála.
