Verse
B B7
I'm a decent boy just landed
E F#7
From the town of Ballyfad
B E
I want a situation,
B F#
And I want it very bad
F#7 B B7
I have seen employment advertised
E F#7
It's just the thing" says I
B E
But the dirty spalpeen ended with
B F#7 B
No Irish Need Apply' "
B B7
"Whoa," says I, "that is an insult
E F#7
But to get the job I'll try"
C#7
So I went to see the blackguard
F# C#7 F#
With his "No Irish Need Apply"
F#7 B B7
Some do count it a misfortune
E F#7
To be christened Pat or Dan
B E
But to me it is an honor
F# F#7 B
To be born an Irishman
[Verse 2]
B B7
I started out to find the place,
E F#7
I got it mighty soon
F#7 B B7
There I found the old chap seated
E F#7
He was reading the Tribune
B B7
I told him what I came for
E F#7
When he in a rage did fly
F#7 B B7
"No!" he says, "You are a Paddy
E F#7
And no Irish need apply"
B B7
Then I gets my dander rising
E F#7
And I'd like to black his eye,
C#7
But I cooled it down and asked him why
F# C#7 F#
No Irish Need Apply
F#7 B B7
Some do count it a misfortune
E F#7
To be christened Pat or Dan
B E
But to me it is an honor

[Verse 3]
B B7
And says I to him your ancestors
E F#7
came over here like me,
B B7
To try and make a living
E F#7
in this land of liberty
B B7
They were greeted here with dignity
E F#7
And taught to reep and sow,
B B7
By the Indians who owned this land
E F#7
They didn't tell you no,
B B7
But I'll get a job in spite of you
E F#7
For I'm willing heart in hand,
C#7
Thank God there's better men than you
F# C#7 F#
All over this great land.

It always is the plan

E F#7
As any other man,
B B7
G# home and hospitality
E F#7
They never will deny
B B7
To strangers here forever say

And a decent man may never write

Some do count it a misfortune
E F#7
To be christened Pat or Dan
