Verse:

I love a girl named Ma -de -lin' I know she loves me, too

For ev -'ry night the moon is bright She rides in my ca -noe

At mid -night on the ri -ver I heard her fa -ther call

But she don't care and I don't care If we get back at all:

 

Chorus:

'Cause when I'm Pad -dl -in' Ma -de -lin' Home

Gee! when I'm Pad -dl -in' Ma -de -lin' Home

First I drift with the tide Then pull for the shore

I hug her and kiss her and pad -dle some more

Then I keep Pad -dl -in' Ma -de -lin' Home

Un -til I find a spot where we're a -lone

Oh! she nev -er says 'no' So I kiss her and go

Pad -dl -in' Ma -de -lin' Sweet sweet Ma -de -lin'

Pad -dl -in' Ma -de -lin' Home.
