Text or lyrics :Arrah Go On I’m Gonna Go Back To Oregon

Arrah Go on, I Wanna Go Back To Oregon
Music By Bert Grant
Words by Sam M. Lewis & Joe Young
Published 1916 by Waterson, Berlin & Snyder Co.


Pat McCarty, hale and hearty
Living in Oregon
Heard a lot of talk about the great New York;
He left the farm, where all was calm and landed on old Broadway
He coaxed a little Mary Ann into a swell cafe
The waiter brought the card and said, "what will you have," to Pat;
Then Pat looked at the prices and he said "I'll have me hat."

Arrah go on, I'm gonna go back to Oregon
Arrah go on, I'm gonna go back and stay
I could buy the horses many a bale of hay
For all that I'd have to pay to feed a chicken on old Broadway
Arrah go on, there's somebody back in Oregon
Who calls me Uncle Pat, not Uncle John;
Arrah go on, go way, go wid yer go way, go wid yer go way, go on
Arrah go on, I'm gonna go back to Oregon

Arrah go on, there's somebody back in Oregon
Who calls me Uncle Pat, not Uncle John;
Arrah go on, go way, go wid yer go way, go wid yer go way, go on
Arrah go on, I'm gonna go back to Oregon

Pat McCarty broke the party up into smithereens
Said "your bill of fare, would give a bull scare;
I want to eat, but I repeat, I don't want to buy the place,"
And Mary Ann was sitting with blushes on her face
She said, "I'll have a little steak, that's all I want right now;"
And Pat said, "what it costs for steaks, why I could buy a cow."

Arrah go on, I'm gonna go back to Oregon
Arrah go on, I'm saying good-bye to you
Why I'd pay ten dollars for something to eat for two
I ordered some [...] sure it was nothing that I reach to
Arrah go on, the chickens I find in Oregon
Are not the kind that call you Uncle John - I'm on !
Arrah go on, go way, go wid yer go way, go wid yer go way, go on
Arrah go on, I'm gonna go back to Oregon
