Irish folk song
Key: A
Time: 6/8

4* -4 -3  -4   4*
I'm a de-cent boy
 -5   6   5*  -4  -3   -7  7* -7  -8  7*
Just land-ed from the town of Bal-ly-fad
6  -7  8* -8-7-6* 7*   -7
I want a sit-u-a-tion, yes
-6* 6  5* -7  5* -4
I want it ver-y bad
4* -4   -3  -4  5*   -5  6   5*  -4
I have seen em-ploy-ment ad-ver-tised
 -3   -7   7*  -7    -8  7*
'Tis just the thing says I 
 6   6  -7  8*  -8   -7  -6* 7*  -7
But the dir-ty spal-peen end-ed with
-6*6  5*   -4  -3 -3
No I-rish need ap-ply
 -7   7* -6* -5   -6*   -5 -6* -7
Whoa says I, but that's an in-sult
 7* -6*  6   5*   6    5*   6
Tho' to get the place I'll try
5* 5* -4  -4 -4   -4   -8    -8
So I went to see this black-guard
 -8  -8  -7 7* 6    -6* -5* 6
With his no I-rish need ap-ply
 5*  -4  -3   -4 5* -5  6   5*
Some do count it a mis-for-tune
-4 -3  -7     7*  -7  -8  7*
To be chris-tened Pat or Dan
 6  6  -7 8* -8 -7 -6* 7*
But to me it is an hon-or
-7 -6*  6  5* -4 -3  -3
To be born an I-rish-man
