The Wolfe Tones- You'll Never Beat the Irish

Protestants and catholics need to unite against the muslim invasion of our country. Fighting age men coming in boat loads to colonise our lands!
We need to set aside our differences in northern ireland and take care of the REAL threat. Otherwise there will be no protestants or catholics left.
We are the fighting Irish. No matter what you do! 🇮🇪🇬🇧

Great band!The more I read about this Collins guy the more I admire him.The Path to Freedom!Peace to everyone listening & have a beer too.

Lizzies in a box

Could you share the sheet music of this song? Thanks.

It would be fun if this song was sung by an Irish singer on the talent show "Britain's Got Talent". It would be even funnier if this video was shown in the background on the big screen.

Erin Go Bragh!

I love your music and the history in the songs. My great grandfather was an Irish man who was transported to Port Arthur, Tasmania. His crime consensus objector (I am not sure that spelling is correct) he eventually earned his freedom and bought some virgin bush and developed an apple orchard where my grandfather and father was born. His name was Dominik Conlan.

From Argentina VIVA IRA, carajoi!

I’m a Celtic and Irish fan 🍀🍀

NEVAH!! 26+6=1!!

26+6=1!!!

How to be Irish: 1, Drink nothing but Guniess, 2, Worship the Pope

Album to analyse for Song Lyrics

In 1167 they came to Ireland on the make
They were followed by invasions and by conquests in their wake
The kings and queens of England made our land a battle ground
They took our land by fraud defeat, by poison murder and deceit.

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

By the 15th century they held precariously to the Pale
The invaders were more Irish than the Irish that's the tale,
A fat greedy king called Henry
His dick was bigger than his brain
Imposed on us his Reformation
Confiscations and usurpation

You'll never beat the Irish
No matter what you do
You can put us down and keep us out
But we'll come back again
You know we are the fighting Irish
and we'll fight until the end
You should have known
You'll never beat the Irish

Then the virgin Queen Elizabeth brought was and turmoil to our land
She decimated Munster
Scorched the earth and all at hand,
then James 1st and Charles the mad
Brought out other greedy bands
They tool the land of Ulster
Killed the Chieftains poisoned plundered

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

By fraud and defective titles, they cheated Connaught and the west
Across the seventeenth century from war we had no rest
For the curse of Cromwell plagued the land
Till our towns were red with blood
Then the Battle of the Boyne was fought by Williams, James and foreign hoards

You'll never beat the Irish
No matter what you do
You can kill us off and put us down
and exterminate us too
But we'll come back again
You know we are the fighting Irish
and we'll fight until the end
You should have known
You'll never beat the Irish

Part 2

Was at Siege of Limerick that Patrick Sarsfield won the day
But the Irish they were cheated when his army went away
Then Queen Ann and her successors enforced on us those Penal Laws
Denying their rights and liberty of religion lands and property

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

Then came the three mad Georges and they had us nearly fooled
They couldn't speak the lingo of the counties that they ruled
Puppets of the ascendancy they kept the Irish down
But the rebels and the white boys kept their arms and their forces on the run

You'll never beat the Irish
No matter what you do
You can put us down and keep us out
But we'll come back again
You know we are the fighting Irish
and we'll fight until the end
You should have known
You'll never beat the Irish

Then the famine Queen Victoria came to rule us by and by
She was on the throne so bloody long
we thought she'd never die
She presided over hunger famine poverty and disease
She drove the people from their home to their deaths or lands beyond the foam

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

Across the 19th century we fought oppression with great zeal
O'Connell spoke his blarney for emancipation and repeal
Young Ireland and the Fenian’s tried with dynamite and gun
Parnell, the Men of Sixteen, then Collins had their armies on the run

You'll never beat the Irish
No matter what you do
You can kill us off and put us down
and exterminate us too
But we'll come back again
You know we are the fighting Irish
and we'll fight until the end
You should have known
You'll never beat the Irish

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

Part 3

In 1922 well they divided up our land
Six counties held by England, it was all they could command
Against the wishes of the majority of the people of our land
They drew an order through our country through town and home and mountains

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

Then the country was engulfed into a bloody civil war
Between those against the treaty and those who voted for
George the IV, he opened Parliament for the stalled in the north
While the rest were building Ireland from the ruined colonial lashes

You'll never beat the Irish
No matter what you do
You can put us down and keep us out
But we'll come back again
You know we are the fighting Irish
and we'll fight until the end
You should have known
You'll never beat the Irish

Then Edward, George, and Elizabeth looked after Ireland's fate
They watched discrimination grow in a gerrymandered state
Homes and churches burnt while the orange power did grew
Discrimination bigotry in housing jobs and liberties

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

From the ashes of the past, the Phoenix did emerge
A new declared republic, on the world it did converge
The search for peace prosperity and unity in our land
We too are locked in Europe, till they made their peace agreement

You'll never beat the Irish
No matter what you do
You can kill us off and put us down
and exterminate us too
But we'll come back again
You know we are the fighting Irish
and we'll fight until the end
You should have known
You'll never beat the Irish

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

Murder plunder faugh a ballagh clear the way
Cheating stealing diddle idle de
Ducking diving faugh a ballagh clear the way
Diddily I del de di diddly idle do

To paraphrase James Connolly, one of the greatest Socialist Republicans to have ever lived: "If you remove the British presence tomorrow, unless you set about the organisation of the Socialist Republic, your efforts will be in vein." Death to American and British imperialism. Victory to Socialism and Republicanism. 

IRA,IRA,IRA

Its easy to be Irish, first drink nothing but Gunuess and 2, worship the Pope

Long Live Ireland and Argentina ! Erin Go Brath!

England will beat destroyed 

I got a question for you Americans who claims that you are Irish because your great grandparents came from Ireland för several hundreds of years ago. My grandparents came from the French speaking parts of Belguim but I dont call my self an Belgian because of that. Arent you proud to be Americans? I dont know how many times I have heard that your descendant is more important.  

hail fellow Irish brothers, our fight for justice and revenge will never end. I am Armenian and the similarities of the IRA with our revolutionaries is just too great.
"Our revenge will be the laughter of our children"

what an IGNORANT title for a song.   never beat the irish?  how come the catholic church wiped its hole with us here in the SOUTH? and how come the various parties in Dawl Airon can wipe their holes, too, with joe soap?  this is cos we allow them to.  we would not even know how to rebel against our own oppressors.  we deserve to be used as arse paper.  we ask for it, and we get it!!  never beat the irish?
FUCK OFF.
