It's just the thing" says I
A D
But the dirty spalpeen ended with
A E7 A
No Irish Need Apply' "
A A7
"Whoa," says I, "that is an insult
D E7
But to get the job I'll try"
B7
So I went to see the blackguard
E B7 E
With his "No Irish Need Apply"
E7 A A7
Some do count it a misfortune
D E7
To be christened Pat or Dan
A D
But to me it is an honor
E E7 A
To be born an Irishman

I started out to find the place,
D E7
I got it mighty soon

I told him what I came for
D E7
When he in a rage did fly
E7 A A7
"No!" he says, "You are a Paddy
D E7
And no Irish need apply"

To try and make a living

They were greeted here with dignity
D E7
And taught to reep and sow,
A A7
By the Indians who owned this land
D E7
They didn't tell you no,
A A7
But I'll get a job in spite of you

For I'm willing heart in hand,

Thank God there's better men than you
E B7 E
All over this great land.
