Oh! Paddy, dear, and did you hear
The news that's going round,
The shamrock is forbid by law
To grow on Irish ground.
Saint Patrick's Day no more we'll keep
His color can't be seen
For there's a bloody law agin'
The wearing of the green.
Then since the color we must wear
Is England's cruel red
Sure Ireland's sons will n'er forget
The blood that they have shed.
You may take the shamrock from your hat
And cast it on the sod,
But 'twill take root and flourish still
Tho' underfoot 'tis trod.
When the law can stop the blades of grass
From growing as they grow,
And when the leaves in summer time
Their verdure dare not show,
Then I will change the color
I wear in my caubeen,
But till that day I'll stick for aye
To wearing of the green.
But if at last our color should
Be torn from Ireland's heart,
Her sons with shame and sorrow
From the dear old sod will part.
I've heard a whisper of a country
That lies beyond the sea,
Where rich and poor stand equal
In the light of freedom's day.
Oh, Erin! Must we leave you,
Driven by the tyrant's hand?
Must we ask a mother's welcome
From a strange but happy land?
Where the cruel cross of England's thralldom
Never shall be seen
And where in peace we'll live and die
A-wearing of the green.

Can you tell me Sean Nathaniel
where the gatherin is to be,
At the old spot by the river,
right well known to you and me,
one thing more, when all is ready
whistle out that marching tune,
and a thousand pikes go flashing,
tis the rising of the moon.

Comanches and Apaches and, in general, most natives have a love for the Irish as they both can commiserate how they got the short end of the stick.
Or as the brothers might say: 'what was in the bottom of the shit bucket'.
Amen.
ps. basically they should have started their casino operations a hell of lot earlier....say right after Wounded Knee.
