I beg your pardon, Mr. Snuffy, but take a look at this chorus:

So goodbye Muirsheen Durkin, I'm sick and tired of working,
No more I'll dig the praties, no longer I'll be fool.
For as sure as me name is Carney
I'll be off to California, where instead of diggin'praties
I'll be diggin'lumps of gold.

That'll learn ya to contradict a California man.
-Joe Offer, huffily-
