  *++Lyrics:|\\
I'm an Irishman now don't mind that,\\
For you can't play tag with Paddy Flynn\\
In the fourteenth ward I claim my how'ld\\
But the gang they play'd me for a skin,\\
The said that they'd make me Alderman,\\
Then they took me 'round to see Red Bill,\\
We were drinking rye-and-rock, till four o'clock,\\
And they made me pony up for all the swill.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
I had fifteen dollars in my inside pocket,\\
Don't you see, to me it is a warning.\\
Saturday night I made a call\\
On a friend of Tam'ny Hall\\
And the divil a cent I had on Sunday morning.\\
\\
Oh, the gang they hung around the bar,\\
Like a swarm of educated mice,\\
Oh they made me drink a "clarinette" punch\\
And a whiskey "Sangaree" on ice,\\
They stood me on my head, when my wealth gave out,\\
Then they hung me on a fence to dry,\\
In the early morning light, for'ninst Judge White,\\
These words to him I plaintively did cry.\\
