[Verse 1]
D
Paddy Kelly is my name
G D
Making poteen is my game
D A
And I live away up there behind the hill
D
Well I can make a drop that’s pure
G D
And there’s nothing it won't cure
A D
It surpasses any medicine or pill
 
[Chorus]
G D
Because it tastes as sweet as honey as it trickles down your throat
A
It looks as clear and pure as morning dew
D G D
Well it could make a fellow sing if he didn't have a note
A D
Won't you try a drop of Paddy Kelly's brew
 
[Verse 2]
D
Well it will cure your rheumatism
G D
It will cure a wheezy chest
D A
It will cure you of the gout and gallstones too
D
It cures toothache, headache, backache
G D
Falling hair and all the rest
A D
Falling arches, corns and bunions and the 'flu
 
[Chorus]
G D
Because it tastes as sweet as honey as it trickles down your throat
A
It looks as clear and pure as morning dew
D G D
Well it could make a fellow sing if he didn't have a note
A D
Won't you try a drop of Paddy Kelly's brew
 
[Verse 3]
D
Any summer day you'll find me
G D
Catching salmon in the glen
D A
Or setting snares for rabbits on the hill
D
But the nicest thing of all
G D
Is when evening shadows fall
A D
Just to watch them bottles filling at my still
 
[Chorus]
G D
For it tastes as sweet as honey as it trickles down your throat
A
It looks as clear and pure as morning dew
D G D
Well it could make a fellow sing if he didn't have a note
A D
Won't you try a drop of Paddy Kelly's brew
 
[Verse 4]
D
Now I've a pound or two to spend
G D
And a bottle for a friend
D A
I've got customers galore who buy my brew
D
At a wedding or a wake
G D
I supply the stuff they take
A D
And I keep a good supply the whole year through
 
[Chorus]
G D
For it tastes as sweet as honey as it trickles down your throat
A
It looks as clear and pure as morning dew
D G D
Well it could make a fellow sing if he didn't have a note
A D
Won't you try a drop of Paddy Kelly's brew
 
[Verse 5]
D
Now I know you will confess
G D
That the world is in a mess
D A
And the politicians don't know what to do
D
I can offer them a plan
G D
That will cure the ills of man
A D
Throw away the guns and hand out Kelly's brew
 
[Chorus]
G D
Because it tastes as sweet as honey as it trickles down your throat
A
It looks as clear and pure as morning dew
D G D
Well it could make a fellow sing if he didn't have a note
A D
Won't you try a drop of Paddy Kelly's brew
