Faix! they won't stop 'cabin passengers,' big-wigs, an' British Peerage,

But—they don't want the poor devils that crowd over in the steerage!

So Oi'm sittin' on the stile, Mary, and there Oi'll loikely sthop,

For they don't require poor Paddy in their big new Chandler's Shop.

Uncle Sam's some punkins, Mary, but he's not a great green goose;

An' he's goin' to sthop a braggin' ov that latch-string always loose!
