Verse

I'm a decent boy just landed
F G7
From the town of Ballyfad
C F
I want a situation,
C G
And I want it very bad
G7 C C7
I have seen employment advertised
F G7
It's just the thing" says I
C F
But the dirty spalpeen ended with
C G7 C
No Irish Need Apply' "
C C7
"Whoa," says I, "that is an insult
F G7
But to get the job I'll try"
D7
So I went to see the blackguard
G D7 G
With his "No Irish Need Apply"
G7 C C7
Some do count it a misfortune
F G7
To be christened Pat or Dan
C F
But to me it is an honor
G G7 C
To be born an Irishman
[Verse 2]
C C7
I started out to find the place,
F G7
I got it mighty soon
G7 C C7
There I found the old chap seated
F G7
He was reading the Tribune
C C7
I told him what I came for
F G7
When he in a rage did fly
G7 C C7
"No!" he says, "You are a Paddy
F G7
And no Irish need apply"
C C7
Then I gets my dander rising
F G7
And I'd like to black his eye,
D7
But I cooled it down and asked him why
G D7 G
No Irish Need Apply
G7 C C7
Some do count it a misfortune
F G7
To be christened Pat or Dan
C F
But to me it is an honor

C C7
And says I to him your ancestors
F G7
came over here like me,
C C7
To try and make a living
F G7
in this land of liberty
C C7
They were greeted here with dignity
F G7
And taught to reep and sow,
C C7
By the Indians who owned this land
F G7
They didn't tell you no,
C C7
But I'll get a job in spite of you
F G7
For I'm willing heart in hand,
D7
Thank God there's better men than you
G D7 G
All over this great land.

And they say that in America
F G7
It always is the plan
C C7
That an Irishman is just as good
F G7
As any other man,
C C7
A home and hospitality
F G7
They never will deny
C C7
To strangers here forever say
F G7
No Irish need apply,
C C7
But there's some bad apples everywhere
F G7
A dirty lot says I,
D7
And a decent man may never write
G D7 G
No Irish need apply.
G7 C C7
Some do count it a misfortune
F G7
To be christened Pat or Dan
C F
But to me it is an honor
G G7 C
To be born an Irishman
