  • Irish independence is not just a cause for Irish Americans, but for all of us, to embrace. It is man's natural state to be free, and there are still some of us across the pond (particularly here in Texas) who remember it.

  • This WILL be played at my funeral

  • Just lost my grandpa earlier this afternoon, this song is for him.

  • @Locbrew88

    Hey, I lost my Dad a couple of years ago and we played him out with Fields of Athenry. He always used to sing it when he'd had a few :)

  • Most of us just like their music, I don't give a fuck about the song's meaning or heritage

  • it's a celtic punk rock interpretation of an old song, no point is compaining. If you don't like it Piss off then!!!

  • This is a classic Irish rebel song and anyone who is Irish regardless from what other country they come from they should be entitled to sing it or enjoy it, as a Irish born person its not how you sing it, its the the meaning of the lyrics that are important and there's Irish born people on here who have completely lots that point.........Trad music is happy and alive so dont feel threatened it just makes you look weak and small and the fuck if strong Irish people are that.

  • 209 know actual Irish music

  • @DestroyYouAlot Got over yourself son!

  • The Fields of Athenrye was a kick ass protest song- the Dropkick Murphys kick ass!

  • dropkick murphys + flogging molly + shilelagh law = best irish bands evar

  • Comment removed

  • i love this song... <3

  • They dont tell you the last verse of this song, where Michael discovers Australia is infinitely better than ireland

  • Your welcome.

  • AN ABSOLUTE INSULT TO ONE OF OUR COUNTRY'S GREATEST BALLADS! Educate yourselves as how it should be sang like in Veronica Guerin. Don't sing it like a bunch of yanks who have butchered a song that basically defines our culture

  • @0876927977 if these "bunch of Yanks" hadn't covered the song, not half of these people would KNOW a song that basically defines our culture. They're simply performing it in a style that conforms to its genre in this day and age.

  • @0876927977 Im an immigrant's son, and these "bunch of yanks" happened to have made this song more appealing to a younger generation. We're as proud of being Irish as you are, so pull that shilelagh out of ur ass

  • @Gravelgutband hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha YOU ARE NOT IRISH. Feckin Americans :L

  • @0876927977 Im an Irish American you narrow minded fuck, take your prejudicy another place you jackoff

  • We had dreams and songs to sing

  • Cool song. :D

  • By Ballot or gun, are day will come. TAL

  • Fail of a song

  • @MightyMucncher568 GET THE FUCK OUT OF HERE! YOUR FAT FUCK IF YOUR GOING TO HATE THE DROPKICK MURPHYS THEN GO FUCK AROUND WITH YOUR GAY FUCKIN BOYFRIEND MOTHER FUCKER!

  • This song is all about the war between the catholics and the muslims on Ireland. Let's take a minute to think about all the souls lost in it...

  • @Bcutter what!??? the muslims?...what are you smoking? its about the irish famine and a guy being sent to a prison colony for stealing corn from an englishman to feed his family.

  • @Bcutter You leave all one of the Muslims on Ireland alone

  • @dadubs93 But they are the ones causing all the trouble!

  • @Bcutter I know, it all started when Mohammad appeared before Paidraig, John-Joe and Berty behind the barn door. Sure John Joe was so facinated he forgot to bail the hay. It all started from there..

  • @dadubs93 Haha yes, and that's what this song is all about!

  • Comment removed

  • this song is immensly inspiring...just gunna put that out there :)

  • reunite ireland!

  • i am proud my acestors survived the famine and didnt imigrate until after that blasted peice of shit

  • Love the extra verse and chorus Gary Og, Shebeen, Claymores etc sing. By a lonely Drumcree hill, ten thousand Orangemen Standing still. Coz they want to walk the streets of Portadown with their Sahes and their flutes and their bowler hats and suits but they wont be marchin' down Garvachy Road Low lie the Fields of Athenrye where once we watched the small free birds fly And its plain for all to see, take a tent/tank to Drumcree but you wont be Marching down Garvachy Road.
  • Its one of many songs about the tyranny that the English have inflicted upon the world. Not just Ireland. Not just Australia. India. China. Africa. The Americas. The list is ongoing. The English are the most blood-thirsty, land-craving creatures to ever walk the Earth. Plus their teeth look like sh!t. Long live the Murphys and let me always raise me child with dignity!

  • The IRA dont represent the Irish people no more. They are just another organized crime group dealing drugs and prostitution.

    Also the fighting is between Protestants and Catholics nowadays. UDA vs IRA splinter groups. The british army has no activity in the north apart from Northern Irish barracks.

  • One of the best songs EVERRRRRRRRRRRR *Nostalgic mood*

  • @spike6819 What ever the British goverment, there wankers!

  • C'MON MUNSTER!!!!!!!!!

  • justin beaver

  • @RuiSaraiva85 you forgot to put "sucks" at the end!

  • @RuiSaraiva85 you forgot to put "sucks" at the end!

  • bajouras

    

  • CELTIC, CELTIC, CELTIC!!  \O/

    We Have Songs about our team!!

  • einfach genial !!!

  • the Irish Famine was caused by greed and arrogance--- the same thing that brings stock markets and real estate markets to their knees... The horse potato grew faster and larger but it was commonly known to be subject to blight.

  • such a good song. fucking solid.

  • Irish and DRuNk...

  • "Erin go bragh, its irish

    for youre fucked"

  • Im irish, and love Ireland, but have such deep respect for Poland they have been through so much, they are the strongest, soundest, and straightest, people ive ever met, slainte from Erin.

  • @audamful I'm a Pole and love my country, but I always loved the Irish for your unbreakable spirit, courage, faith. You managed to keep your soul in the so called modern world. Poles stupidly think they can't be modern if they remain polish.

  • Great!!!! Greetings from Germany!!!

  • Can't keep a good song down (under)

  • woah...i came for the music not the politics

  • this has nothing to do with the I.R.A it has to do with the irish famine and some guy being sent to austrailia for stealing some corn off a landlord to feed his starving family

  • @2k10rocky it's not about the IRA but it's a song of English injustice and a rebel song ("against the Famine and the Crown - oh fuck the Crown - I Rebelled they brought me down. as the old Irish adage goes "Providence brought the Blight, England created the Famine". Trevalyn [sic] wasnt a Landlord. He was a Brit Minister of Ireland and it says his "corn" 'cause he refused to give out corn America had sent in aid - as the Brits decreed this was against trade in the market (only to catholics). TAL

  • @2k10rocky It kinda makes u wonder how many unspoken stories like this actually occurred back in the day.

  • @2k10rocky It was Michael...... 

  • 196 huns watched this

  • @MrRoryTV What do the Germans have to do with disliking Boston punk bands?

  • @l0rf haha it's nothing to do with Germans pal

  • @MrRoryTV But you said Huns, and since 1901 that's a monicker for the Germans, Chancellor Bismarck held a speech for his troops sent to deal with the Boxer Uprising, saying they had to show no mercy, "like the huns" so I assumed you meant Germans with it.

  • @l0rf Hun in Northern Ireland and Scotland is a term for a loyalist

  • @MrRoryTV Oh, I had no idea. Thanks a lot.

  • @l0rf A Hun is a proddy and probably a Rangers fan come on the Bhoyyys. . . .

  • @dixon97a Then even the British stopped saying that.

  • @l0rf

    germans

    huns?

    dude...wtf?XD

  • @lorddwan Do I have to go on a funking history lesson here? Look up the Boxer uprising in China. Then look for the German involvement. We've been called the Huns by General Montgomery himself during WW2 because of the Hun Speech Chancellor Bismarck held.

  • WOOOOHOOOOOO DROPKICK MURPHYS KICK ASSS!!! Named my pup after em, Murphy Law!!!

  • The best song of the fucking world,gora Ireland,and the free!

  • omg isnt it great to see the english getting back what they turfed out to the irish .. now the minority groups are giving the british government hell lololol... ok lets see them pul the shoot to kill policy out on the blacks in enland ? and lets see them use the rubber bullet tactic on the blacks ;) im soo happy to see what they are getting the british gov ;) lol ... hey they cant send the sas in ... on a shoot to kill policy ... can they ? they scummy brits are getting justice ;) lolol

  • Fuck the brit scum! Up the IRA!

  • And now who is surpressing England? Ireland could regain its unity + integrity as a nation again thanks to this crisis + the civil war charles manson predicted going on in England. They've had to borrow back the water cannons. Now what? You'd better not be riotting in 6 Counties any time soon cos it wouldn't be the same. No cold jets of water...boring....

  • GUINESSSSSS!!!!!!!!! AND DROPKICK FOOKIN MURPHYS!!!!!!!!!! keep drinkinnnn!!!!!

  • I love this band and this song, but I personally think the ballad version of this song is better.

    but that's my opinion. this version is still good.

  • hail hail from glasgow celtic

  • This was amazing at Wakestock. Long live the motherfucking Dropkick Murphys.

  • I think this band could be really really fun... the vocalist is just... uh.

  • @xoruhtra You dont need to be listening to them then, Ken Casey is Legendary!

  • As an Aussie that has been to Kilmainham Gaol, (1787), in Dublin where the poor buggers were torn from there families and sent here for stealing bread to feed their families,.....Ireland, we got your best, your fighters, your hard men.....fighters of oppresion...we are proud and lucky to have had them and our love & sympathy to their families left behind.

  • my mum loves this version,still cracking heads at72 in the bar when the bhoys get outta lino.(;0)

  • News Flash ... these guys are not IRISH, they are a American Celtic punk band from Quincy Massachusetts

  • @killoe2007 *******News Flash****** your a fucking idiot, 90% of boston's population from ! Ireland ! there ancestry and blood is Irish regardless of their citizenship. Now get the fuck outta here before I dropkick you off the keyboard you little wikipedia geek.

  • @RayneoftheDead **************Correction******­************* you're a fucking idiot.

    "your" references something that you own i.e. your post here on Youtube.

    "you're" references "you are" i.e. you are insulting killoe2007 in you're post.

    I'm not trying to fight. I'm just suggesting that if you are going to insult someone you shouldn't make yourself look like "a fucking idiot" in the process.

    WHY DO KEYBOARD GANGSTERS NOT UNDERSTAND THAT IT'S MUSIC, IT'S MEANT TO BE ENJOYED?

  • @JJovenall You knew what I meant and you have just made your self look like a little bitch writing your little comment. And with people like you here it is impossible to look like an idiot you radiate idiocy in epic butt loads, yes I said butt loads it AINT in the dictionary but I am sure you are very familiar with butt loads "please daddy no not again".

    P.S. killoe2007 comment was not related to the music so "stfu". STFU is texting short form, not in a dictionary but you understand. LOSER

  • @RayneoftheDead P.S. I got a thumbs up you did not

  • @RayneoftheDead Easy there hoser... didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Again, this is music. It's meant to be enjoyed. Fucking relax son.

  • @RayneoftheDead Easy there hoser... didn't mean to hurt your feelings. Like I said before, it's music and it's meant to be enjoyed. Fucking relax son.

  • News Flash ... these guys are not IRISH

  • Comment removed

  • This version should be played at Parkhead.... The place would be BOUNCIN!!!

  • yo look every body 195 turds lol. what does it take to get people to smile. this is a great song .....................play loud and get pissed. happy fighting . ;)

  • I wish I were Irish :D

  • @angieXC start drinking!

  • Tar go hÉirinn!!!!!

    (Come to Ireland)

  • this abandons all of the beauty and sadness that is this song...

  • come to Belgradeeeeeeeeeeee!!! :)

  • Why do people still think this song is some sort of IRA/republican anthem? It's not! It's about being poor and hungry..END OF! And as for the Dropkicks, I doubt very much that they hate the British or English. A lot of the bands early influences are from the UK. And they certianly do NOT support the IRA either.

  • yer all fucking bigotted aholes that know fuck all about history

  • even though i'm black can i learn how to play the bagpipe?

  • @belita101 Hell yeah you can, just takes practice and dedication. The pipes dont give a shit what color your are!!!

  • 193 are hun bastards

  • no use for a name's version is sooooo much better...

  • one other thing that grips my shit is the way you all go on....im catholic or im protestant, then run around spouting your mouths off and say shit about how people should die over this. Check out your religion, both catholic and protestant alike, love thy neighbour, forgive those who trespass against us. dont use 'your religion' when you dont even practice it. btw nothing against the irish. just against stupid shitpricks who go on like they are some gangsters. pfffft. bunch of idiots.

  • @garethduffey Who the fuck do you think you are spouting on about the Irish like that, you limp dick Fuck. The fact is the british came over here thinking they were great killed innocent irishmen then got their teeth kicked in and were only left with eight counties. So if you reply, dont act all smug and hard by insulting us you poof.

  • @iRogueHunter if you read what i said then its only the dicks who spout on shit im talking about therefore only those that would be insulted. oh!! yeh! your one of them. go fuck off. small minded little prick. 'The fact is the british came over here thinking they were great killed innocent irishmen then got their teeth kicked in' . all past tense. get a fucking grip

  • @garethduffey Ha Ha, so your basically agreeing with me and then telling me im a small minded little prick, well done genius, you must be a small minded little prick too. Hahahaha Go Fuck Yourself

  • @garethduffey So anyone who is patriotic is a member of the IRA?Gimme a break.And are we supposed to believe that Irish people don't still face suspicion and discrimination in England?Practice what you preach,even though apparently you lived in Ireland you still think that all Irish people think they are at war with the Brits.We're over it,we haven't forgot it,but we're over it,maybe you should do the same instead of being so sensitive.What happens in the North is different.

  • @DustyAndPistolPete read again! not anyone who is patriotic, anyone who claims themselves a member of the ira you fool! and yes you are supposed to belive that they dont face suspicion in uk. Not in my experience. i would not judge someone for where they are from just by there attitudes towards others. and too judge the whole of britain by the past of britain is not right. and again i am speaking to the ones who are on here spotuing shit about shit!! not the whole of the irish people

  • i have met and know some fucking amazing people with kind caring and loving personalities. who would not judge every englishman the same. and i would not do the same. i just having my say to those dumb shits who tar us all with the same brush.

  • @garethduffey let me start by asking a question. At present Gareth where do you think the most bigotted place in europe is when it comes to Irish polotics I'll give you a hint its Scotlands biggest city. Glasgow where we have two wonderful groups of people who have blatantly hijacked Irish freedom and Unionism. I like you lived in Ireland and can't help but wonder how you got the locals pissed off. OK so they remember what the british did but they are over it I lived there no problems

  • @Chris1972H i dont see that i done anything and granted people have got over it. i lived over there in 1999 to 2005. and trust when i say they kicked it off. i just wouldnt roll over and take it. and please dont get me wrong. i have made a lot of irish friends and would stand by decent irish people any day of the week. just not the louts who slag the english. we are not the same people who lived many years ago and even then those people didnt have the final say.

  • me the slightest bit of shit cause i wasnt scared of them and guess what guys noone is scared of you now. thuggish criminal twats. the ira is now just a criminal organisation and anyone who associates themselves with the ira should be hung! thiefing bastards

  • i dont know if you know but the english people dont actually have a say in what happens. as the irish dont. the sooner people realise that the better. you irish fuckwits who talk shit about our day will come. ha. your day has not come for years and years and years. what makes you think its about to. stupid inbred fucking idiots. i lived there for six years in lovely county cork and had to deal with the biggest fucking cocks ive ever met. all irish. i can assure not one of them would now give

  • @garethduffey when i say all irish i mean all the pricks were irish btw not all irish are pricks!

  • to all you stupid dumb fucks!! coming from someone who lived in ireland, is of irish decent and lives in england now. why dont you all shut the fuck up. ireland has its right to be angry but to punish those who had fuck all to do with what happened over there many years ago. i dont think so!

  • Dont hate them all brother ,just the ones with guns who occupy 6 counties of a sovereighn Republic.Up the REALS!Death to all Briti Army queers and m-15 and all other CIA wannabee huns.

  • Something that people don't understand: There are plenty of Northern Irish people that would die before you try to make them part of the Republic. Lots of people there consider themselves British! Wake up, the British aren't big nasty empire builders anymore. Anyway, most of the people on the comments here are probably Americans that just pretend to be Irish.

  • @bustashite fuck off you orange unionist twat... god burn the queen motherfucker

  • @bustashite y dont dey fuck off over ta britian den nd get ta fuck out of are country . my grandad died tryin ta get u orange bastards out nd ill make sure he didnt die in vain

  • @kevin99583 Because they live in Northern Ireland....which they consider part of Britain. Get it now?

  • @bustashite Many Irish Americans have plenty more heart than you philosophizer queer, and heart is what counts most.

  • @rheaann420 How did you work that one out? They have heart because they come on these videos talking shit about Britain? You know in YOUR heart that these guys know fuck all about Ireland apart from the little slogans they shout out....

  • Dont sendrheaann420 hate comments fellas I'm just usin an account since mine is locked,she knows nothin of this..

  • @bustashite Irish American is better than being a limp dick british bastard any day. Tiocfaidh ár lá

  • @666kommando Except for the fact you are the biggest bunch of wannabes the world has ever seen? Get a grip... you're not fucking Irish... you are American. Like I said, there are plenty of NORTHERN IRISH PEOPLE who would never be part of the republic. You don't understand anything about the situation. Thanks, bye.

  • @bustashite lol my mothers Irish you limey twat. and yes, im a proud member of a country that gave your country the finger, killed your soldiers, and won our independence, and i hope that one day, Ireland can do the same, no one deserves to be under you crumpet munching pussies.

  • i paused my porn for this

  • @loard14 well thats a good thing i guess

  • @loard14 I'm still enjoying mine!

  • I never knew bagpipes could work with rock songs...'til I found this!! Boy, it feels good to be Irish. Love this. <3

  • its funny how few songs that were writen in irish are actually translated into english. if you try to translate some irish songs you get some harsh lyrics. if you think this is bad to the brits, try irelands call

  • i like this song, this is important for me and for you, i' m sorry vut i'm DRUNK, and i like it

  • Ayup lads, don't hate all brits because i'm English and i loved my time working in Portlaoise. I never had a bad word said against me and i loved the Sunday drink with the old lads in the pubs.
