No Irish Need Apply - Pete Seeger (皮特·西格)[00:00:00]
I'm a decent boy just landed from the town of Ballyfad[00:00:01]
I want a situation[00:00:05]
Yes and wants it very bad[00:00:07]
I seen employment advertised[00:00:09]
It's just the thing says I[00:00:12]
But the dirty spalpeen ended with[00:00:14]
No Irish need apply[00:00:16]
Woah says I[00:00:18]
But that's an insult[00:00:19]
Though to get the place I'll try[00:00:20]
So I went to see the blaggard with his[00:00:22]
No Irish need apply[00:00:24]
Some may think it a misfortune[00:00:26]
To be christened pat or dan[00:00:28]
But to me it is an honor to be born an Irishman[00:00:30]
I started out to find the house[00:00:38]
I got it mighty soon[00:00:40]
There I found the old chap seated[00:00:42]
He was reading the tribune[00:00:44]
I told him what I came for[00:00:46]
When he in a rage did fly[00:00:48]
No he says[00:00:50]
You are a paddy and no Irish need apply[00:00:51]
Well I gets my dander risin'[00:00:54]
I'd like to black his eye[00:00:57]
To tell an Irish gentleman[00:00:59]
No Irish need apply[00:01:01]
Some may think it a misfortune[00:01:03]
To be christened pat or dan[00:01:05]
But to me it is an honor to be born an Irishman[00:01:07]
I couldn't stand it longer[00:01:14]
So ahold of him I took[00:01:15]
And I gave him such a whelping[00:01:18]
As he'd get at Donnybrook[00:01:19]
He hollered milia murther and to get away did try[00:01:22]
And swore he'd never write again[00:01:26]
No Irish need apply[00:01:28]
Well he makes a big apology[00:01:30]
I bid him then good bye[00:01:32]
Saying when next you want a beating[00:01:34]
You write no Irish need apply[00:01:36]
Some may think it a misfortune[00:01:38]
To be christened pat or dan[00:01:41]
But to me it is an honor to be born an Irishman[00:01:43]
