Great Gaels Of Ireland

Oh the great Gaels of Ireland

And the great Gaels of Scotland

They were kept down for so long

All they wanted was freedom

Well they took ancient Greece on

And they took ancient Rome on

Yes they took all the Turks on

They were powerful for so long

They're the first kings of Europe

And their women weren't shut up

Yes their women were leaders

They won battles, gave orders

Oh the great Gaels of Ireland

And the great Gaels of Scotland

They were kept down for so long

All they wanted was freedom

Well they brought Christian teachings

To the pagans in Britain

There was great courage displayed

Look at how we were repaid

We were sold into slavery

And shipped to the West Indies

There was Irish and Scotch slaves

Staring over their huge wains

Oh the great Gaels of Ireland

And the great Gaels of Scotland

They were kept down for so long

All they wanted was freedom

Now I want you to be proud

And I want you to shout loud

"I am proud of my people

I politically rebel"

Oh the great Gaels of Ireland

And the great Gaels of Scotland

They were kept down for so long

All they wanted was freedom

Na paisti, be proud

Na paisti, be haughty
