Paddy on the Road is the debut album by Irish folk musician Christy Moore, released in 1969.[1] The album was produced and co-written by Dominic Behan.[2] Steve Benbow organised the backing musicians and was responsible for the arrangements and conducting.

Although issued on a major label, Mercury Records, only 500 copies were pressed of the original 1969 issue.[3]

The song "Marrow Bones" is also known as "Tippin' It Up (to Nancy)".

Christy Moore has printed up a limited number of CD copies that, as of October 2010, are for sale at his gigs and his website.
