you'll never beat the irish, part 2 - wolfe tones lyrics
at the siege of limerick, patrick sarsfield won the day
but the irish they were cheated when his army went away
queen ann and her successors forced on us those penal laws
denying the rights and liberty of religion, land, and property!
murder, plunder fallaballa, clear the way
cheating, stealing, diddly-idel-day
ducking, diving, fallaballa, clear the way
diddly-aidel-doh, diddly-aidel-day
then came the three mad georges and they had us nearly fooled
they couldn’t speak the lingo of the countries that they ruled
puppets of the ascendancy they kept the irish down
but the rebels and the whiteboys hard their army 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 know, you should have known: you’ll never beat the irish
the famine queen, victoria came to rule us by and by
she was on the throne so bl–dy long, we thought she’d never die!
she presided over hunger, famine, poverty, and disease
she drove the people from their home to their death or to the land beyond the sea!
murder, plunder fallaballa, clear the way
cheating, stealing, diddly-idel-day
ducking, diving, fallaballa, clear the way
diddly-aidel-doh, diddly-aidel-day
all across the 19th century, fought oppression with great zeal
o’connell spoke his blarney for emanc-p-tion and repeal
young ireland and the fenians tried the dynamite and the gun
parnell, the men of sixteen died, then michael collins had them 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 know, you should have known: you’ll never beat the irish
murder, plunder fallaballa, clear the way
cheating, stealing, diddly-idel-day
ducking, diving, fallaballa, clear the way
diddly-aidel-doh, diddly-aidel-day
