Two songs about St. Patrick:
Patrick's Song
http://normstrauss.com/track/712006/patrick-s-song
The story of Patrick of Ireland. Some of the lyrics are taken directly from some of his writings, or at least what they think he wrote. If only half of what they say about this man is true he truly was an inspiring figure in history. Thank you Johnson Grass (best bluegrass band in Germany) for coming up with the tag arrangement.

Below is a song whose lyrics are attributed to a prayer of St. Patrick often called St. Patrick’s Breastplate, or The Lorica.
