lirik lagu frank harte - no irish need apply
[verse 1]
i’m a decent boy just landed from the town of ballyfad
well i want a situation, and i need it mighty bad
a position i saw advertised “would suit me well”, says i
but the dirty spailpín ended with: “no irish need apply”
[pre~chorus]
said i, “that is an insult and i know the reason why”
so i went to see that blaggard with “no irish need apply”
[chorus]
now some may think it a misfortune to be christened pat or dan
but to me it is an honour to be born an irishman
[verse 3]
well i started out to find this man, i found him mighty soon
he was seated in the corner, he was reading the tribune
when i told him what i came for, he in a rage did fly
and he said, “you are a paddy and no irish need apply!”
[pre~chorus]
well i felt my temper rising, that i’d like to black his eye
to tell an irish gentleman, “no irish need apply”
[chorus]
now some may think it a misfortune to be christened pat or dan
but to me it is an honour to be born an irishman
[verse 5]
well i couldn’t stand his nonsense, so ahold of him i took
and i gave him such a beating as he”d get in donnybrook
well he hollered, “míle murder!” and to get away did try
and he swore he’d never write again, “no irish need apply”
[pre~chorus]
he made a big apology, i bid him then goodbye
saying, “when next you want a beating, write ‘no irish need apply'”
[chorus]
now some may think it a misfortune to be christened pat or dan
but to me it is an honour to be born an irishman
[verse 7]
well i’ve heard that in america it always is the plan
that an irishman is just as good as any other man
and at home and hospitality they never would deny
to the stranger and they’d never write, “no irish need apply”
[pre~chorus]
but some black sheep are in the flock, “a dirty lot”, says i
“for a decent man would never write, ‘no irish need apply'”
[chorus]
now some may think it a misfortune to be christened pat or dan
but to me it is an honour to be born an irishman
[verse 9]
now, old ireland on the battlefield a lasting fame has made
you all have heard of meagher’s men, and corcoran’s brigade
though fools may rant and bigots rage, fanatics they may cry
but when they want good fighting~men, the irish may apply
[pre~chorus]
and when for freedom and the right they raise the battle~cry
those rebel ranks will surely think; “no irish need apply”
[chorus]
now some may think it a misfortune to be christened pat or dan
but to me it is an honour to be born an irishman
