The Wolfe Tones – You’ll Never Beat The Irish Part III Lyrics

Artist: The Wolfe Tones
Song: You’ll Never Beat The Irish Part III

In Nineteen Twenty-Two, 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 the land
Drove a border through a country, two thousand homes and mountains!

〈Chorus〉
Murder, plunder Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way
Cheating, stealing, diddly-idel-day
Ducking, divin’, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way

Diddly-idel-doh, di-diddly-idel-day
Then our country was engulfed into a bloody civil war
Between those against the treaty and those who voted for
George the Fifth, he opеned parliament for the statеlet in the North

While the rest were building Ireland from the ruined colonial ashes!
〈Chorus 2〉
And you’ll never beat the Irish, no matter what you do
Oh, 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
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, it grew
Discrimination, bigotry, in housing, jobs and liberties!
〈Chorus〉
Murder, plunder Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way

Cheating, stealing, diddly-idel-day
Ducking, divin’, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way
Diddly-idel-doh, di-diddly-idel-day
From the ashes of the past, then the phoenix did emerge

A new declared republic, on the world it did converge
To search for peace, prosperity and unity in a land
We threw our lot in Europe, then made our peace agreement
〈Chorus 2〉

And you’ll never beat the Irish, no matter what you do
Oh, 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

〈Chorus〉
Murder, plunder Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way
Cheating, stealing, diddly-idel-day
Ducking, divin’, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way

Diddly-idel-doh, di-diddly-idel-day
〈Chorus〉
Murder, plunder Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way
Cheating, stealing, diddly-idel-day

Ducking, divin’, Faugh a Ballagh, clear the way
Diddly-idel-doh, di-diddly-idel-day
