JUST A DAMNEDILLEGAL
by SEAMUS ROBINSON
My name is Paddy Sheamus, from Erin's Isle I come Ain't
looking any handouts, I ain't a begging bum;
I build the towns and cities, a million bricks I lay But
'cause I got no papers, you always give short pay.
(chorus)
I'm just a damned illegal, I got no rights you say
You use me and abuse me, then tell me I can't stay;
Now Uncle Sam's bald eagle don't spread its wings for me I'm
just a damned illegal, another deportee.
My name it is Gonzales, from Mexico I come Ain't
looking any handouts, I ain't a begging bum;
I work the farms and ranches, get in the crops and hay But
'cause I got no papers, you always give short pay.
( repeat chorus )
My name is Anybody, from Anywhere I come Ain't
looking any handouts, I ain't a begging bum;
I keep the country running, by night-time and by day But
'cause I got no papers, you always give short pay.
( chorus twice )
