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 a border through our country, through town and home and mountains
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
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
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 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 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
From the ashes of the past, the Phoenix did emerge a new declared republic, on the world it did converge the search for piece, prosperity and unity in our land we too are locked in Europe, till they made their peace agreement
CHORUS
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
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
