Lyr Req: Do Me Justice

I used to know this song, but have forgotten most of it. I had it on a long-lost compilation LP (vinyl) of Irish songs, I think from Claddagh Records.

It starts off something like: "Do me justice, treat me fair and I won't be discontented....", and goes on to complain about various stereotypes applied to the Irish.

"With crooked limbs and villainous face, they represent the Irish race..." was another line.

Anyone know it?

Frank Harte has it on "Daybreak and A Candle's End" under the title "Here I am from Donegal"--might make it easier to find again under that moniker.

The Claddagh recording would have been Len Graham - as mentioned in the note to the DT version above.

Are you still looking for lyrics?
My friend Rosie Stewart taught it to me years back, and i think it is also on her album
