Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, here I am from Donegal, I feel quite discontented
\nFor to see the way that we’re run down, not highly represented
\nFor you see it is a general rule, to make out Pat a knave or fool
\nBut never mind he’ll play it cool and stand up for old Ireland<\/p>\n

Chorus:
\nDo me justice, treat me fair and I won’t be discontented
\nBut I won’t by laughed at anywhere, but highly represented<\/p>\n

Now, Mr. Punch with his literature, he treats us very badly
\nAnd when he draws or caricature, he depicts us rather sadly
\nWith crooked limbs and villainous face, he thus depicts the Irish race
\nWe think it is a sad disgrace, and we say so in old Ireland<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

When on the stage I do appear, with a thundering bug shillelagh
\nWith a ragged coat and a tattered hat, you think I come out gaily
\nWith not a word of common sense, they don’t know when they give offense
\nBut carry on at Pat’s expense, why don’t they come to Ireland<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

They say we are dirty and lazy got, but where’s the use to grumble
\nAnd if they visit an Irish cot, they’re made welcome, though tis humble
\nBut in ‘Palm licks works’, the country round, or where hard work is to be found
\nIn the railway tunnels underground, you’ll find the boys from Ireland<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Tis true I like a glass, it makes me feel quite frisky
\nI’m very found of an Irish lass, but I’m partial to the whiskey
\nI’m very quiet when left alone, but I do what I like with what’s my own
\nAnd woe be to the foes at home, who would dare to run down old Ireland<\/p>\n
