Never Beat The Irish (Part 1) - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
In 1167 they came to Ireland on the make[00:00:41]
They were followed by invasions and by[00:00:45]
Conquests in their wake[00:00:47]
The kings and queens of England[00:00:50]
Made our land a battle ground[00:00:51]
They took our land by fraud defeat [00:00:54]
By poison murder and deceit[00:00:56]
Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way[00:00:59]
Cheating stealing diddle idle de[00:01:01]
Ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way[00:01:03]
Diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do[00:01:05]
By the 15th century they held precariously to The Pale[00:01:12]
The invaders were more Irish than the Irish[00:01:16]
That's the tale [00:01:19]
A fat greedy king called Henry[00:01:20]
His dick was bigger than his brain[00:01:22]
Imposed on us his Reformation[00:01:25]
Confiscations and usurpation[00:01:27]
You'll never beat the Irish[00:01:29]
No matter what you do[00:01:34]
You can put us down and keep us out[00:01:38]
But we'll come back again[00:01:43]
You know we are the fighting Irish[00:01:47]
And we'll fight until the end[00:01:51]
You know should have known[00:01:56]
You'll never beat the Irish[00:01:58]
Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way[00:02:03]
Cheating stealing diddle idle de[00:02:05]
Ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way[00:02:07]
Diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do[00:02:10]
Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way[00:02:12]
Cheating stealing diddle idle de[00:02:14]
Ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way[00:02:16]
Diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do[00:02:19]
Then the virgin Queen Elizabeth brought[00:02:34]
War and turmoil to our land[00:02:36]
She decimated Munster scorched the[00:02:38]
Earth and all at hand [00:02:41]
Then James 1st and Charles the mad[00:02:43]
Brought out other greedy bands[00:02:45]
They took the land of Ulster killed the[00:02:47]
Chieftains poisoned plundered[00:02:50]
Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way[00:02:52]
Cheating stealing diddle idle de[00:02:54]
Ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way[00:02:56]
Diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do[00:02:59]
By fraud and defective titles they[00:03:05]
Cheated Connaught and the west[00:03:07]
Across the seventeenth century[00:03:09]
From war we had no rest[00:03:12]
For the curse of Cromwell plagued the land[00:03:14]
Till our towns were red with blood[00:03:16]
Then the Battle of the Boyne was fought[00:03:18]
By William [00:03:21]
James and foreign hoards[00:03:21]
You'll never beat the Irish[00:03:23]
No matter what you do[00:03:27]
You can put us down and keep us out[00:03:31]
But we'll come back again[00:03:36]
You know we are the fighting Irish[00:03:40]
And we'll fight until the end[00:03:45]
You know should have known[00:03:49]
You'll never beat the Irish[00:03:52]
Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way[00:03:56]
Cheating stealing diddle idle de[00:03:59]
Ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way[00:04:01]
Diddlily i dle de di diddly idle do[00:04:03]
Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way[00:04:05]
Cheating stealing diddle idle de[00:04:07]
