no irish need apply - pete seeger lyrics
i’m a decent boy just landed from the town of ballyfad
i want a situation, yes, and wants it very bad
i seen employment advertised – “it’s just the thing,” says i
but the dirty spalpeen ended with ‘no irish need apply’
“woah,” says i, “but thats an insult, though to get the place i’ll try”
so i went to see the blaggard with his ‘no irish need apply’
some may think it a misfortune to be christened pat or dan
but to me it is an honor to be born an irishman
well i started out to find the house, i got it mighty soon
there i found the old chap seated, he was reading the tribune
i told him what i came for, when he in a rage did fly
“no!” he says, “you are a paddy, and no irish need apply”
well i gets my dander risin’, i’d like to black his eye
to tell an irish gentleman, ‘no irish need apply’
some may think it a misfortune to be christened pat or dan
but to me it is an honor to be born an irishman
well i couldnt stand it longer, so ahold of him i took
and i gave him such a whelping as he’d get at donnybrook
he hollered “milia murther,” and to get away did try
and swore he’d never write again ‘no irish need apply’
well he makes a big apology, i bid him then good-bye
saying “when next you want a beating, write ‘no irish need apply'”
some may think it a misfortune to be christened pat or dan
but to me it is an honor to be born an irishman
