[C]I'm a Páidín
From Tulla[F]bhadín
I've got [C]money and[D] acres of [G]land
I'm [G7]looking for a [C]honey, with a bit of [F]money
Catch me if you[C] can, me name is[G7] Dan sure I'm yer[C[ man.

I like swinging, when Big Tom is singing
Catch me if you can, me name is Dan
Sure I'm your man.
And I'm [G]off to Lisdoon[G7]varna at the [C]end of the year
I'm off for the bit of craic, the[D7] women and the [G7]beer!
I'm awful [C]shifty for a man of [F]fifty,
Catch me if you[C] can, me name is [G]Dan sure I'm yer[C] man!
I've got a brother, he's in the Gardaí
I've got an uncle, he's up there in the Dáil
He's quite a charmer, Geez a mighty farmer
Catch me if you can me name is Dan sure I'm yer man.
Now to conclude and finish my story.
If there's a young one, looking for a man,
Take the bus from Bearna, down to Lisdoonvarna
Catch me if you can, me name is Dan sure I'm yer man!
And I'm off to Lisdoonvarna at the end of the year
I'm off for the bit of craic, the women and the beer!
I'm awful shifty for a man of fifty,
Catch me if you can, me name is Dan sure I'm yer man!
