You'll Never Beat The Irish
Part 1

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 balla clear the way
cheating stealing diddle idle de
ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way
diddlily i dle 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

CHORUS
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
war 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 took the land of Ulster killed the
chieftains poisoned plundered

Murder plunder faugh a balla clear the way
cheating stealing diddle idle de
ducking diving faugh a bala clear the way
diddlily i dle 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 William, James and foreign hoards

CHORUS
