Never Beat the Irish - Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
In eleven sixty seven [00:00:28]
They came to Ireland on the make[00:00:29]
They were followed by invasions[00:00:32]
And by conquests in their wake[00:00:34]
The Kings and Queens of England[00:00:36]
Made the land a battleground[00:00:38]
They took the land by fraud defeat;[00:00:41]
By murder poison and deceit[00:00:43]
Murder plunder fallaballa clear the way[00:00:45]
Cheating stealing diddly idel day[00:00:48]
Ducking diving fallaballa clear the way[00:00:50]
Diddly aidel doh diddly aidel day[00:00:52]
Then by the fifteenth century[00:00:59]
They held precariously to the Pale[00:01:00]
The invaders were more Irish[00:01:03]
Than the Irish that's the tale[00:01:05]
A fat greedy king[00:01:07]
Called Henry 's dick was bigger than his brain[00:01:08]
Imposed a reformation confiscating usurpation[00:01:12]
And You'll never beat the Irish [00:01:16]
No matter what you do[00:01:20]
You can put us down and keep us out [00:01:25]
But we'll come back again[00:01:30]
You know we are the fighting Irish[00:01:33]
And we'll fight until the end[00:01:38]
You know you should have known[00:01:42]
You'll never beat the Irish[00:01:46]
The virgin Queen Elizabeth [00:02:21]
Brought more turmoil to our land[00:02:23]
She decimated Munster [00:02:25]
Scorched the earth and all at hand[00:02:26]
Then James the first and Charles[00:02:30]
The Mad brought out other greedy bands[00:02:31]
They took the land of Ulster [00:02:34]
Killed their Chieftains poisoned plundered [00:02:36]
Murder plunder fallaballa clear the way[00:02:39]
Cheating stealing diddly idel day[00:02:41]
Ducking diving fallaballa clear the way[00:02:43]
Diddly aidel doh diddly aidel day[00:02:45]
And by defective titles [00:02:52]
They cheated Connaught and the west[00:02:54]
Across the seventeenth century[00:02:56]
From war we had no rest[00:02:59]
For the curse of Cromwell plagued the land [00:03:01]
'Til our towns were red with blood[00:03:03]
Then the Battle of the Boyne was fought by William [00:03:05]
James and foreign hoards[00:03:08]
You'll never beat the Irish no matter what you do[00:03:10]
You can put us down and keep us out [00:03:18]
But we'll come back again[00:03:23]
You know we are the fighting Irish[00:03:27]
And we'll fight until the end[00:03:31]
You know you should have known[00:03:36]
You'll never beat the Irish[00:03:38]
Murder plunder fallaballa clear the way[00:03:43]
Cheating stealing diddly idel day[00:03:45]
Ducking diving fallaballa clear the way[00:03:47]
Diddly aidel doh diddly aidel day[00:03:50]
Murder plunder fallaballa clear the way[00:03:52]
Cheating stealing diddly idel day[00:03:54]
Ducking diving fallaballa clear the way[00:03:56]
Diddly aidel doh diddly aidel day[00:03:59]
