The Wolfe Tones- Wrap The Green Flag Around Me Boys

[radion2eo]

I am not Irish, however my girl friend Patty is. So I have tried to learn something about the people of Ireland.. I am 61 years young , when I was a kid I was told that the IRA was a terrorist group.... At age 61 I know this is WRONG ..... As I see it, if there was no IRA the "Black&Tans would have all of Ireland ... GOD BLESS THE IRA ... These people are very dedicated and are willing to die for Ireland.. The Black and Tans will NEVER WIN !!!!!

[BA97000]

We are Frre Proud Irishmen not vassels of Sarkozy or Merkel. Time we booted out that crowd. My grandfather fought in the war of Indepenance so as i could have a Free Country not a vassel state of Europes. My grnadfather fought with Dan Breen!

[john1916ira]

[BigIrishFairy]

@john1916ira You tell him love....one day all of Ireland's men will be free (no matter what their orientation)!

[WAXY950]

@BritishFaker fixed that for you 

[Ricky9938]

scottland wonts to be free just we dont have guns to use on the english

[MrMissmann]

@Ricky9938 and where would you be without the English ??

[jmdenn3000]

@yumorules

britain is one isle. The english, scotts and welsh are brittish. Not the irish. It's like saying the french are british because great britian is part of the eu.

[KaelMacKenneth]

@jmdenn3000 the scots and welsharent british! they live next to each other, thats it! You praticaly saying that french and german is the same thing! the scots are scotish, the welsh are welsh.

[yumorules]

I love British culture.Your quaint ballads about killing each other and drinking are very charming.

[yumorules]

The rebel flag of green white and YELLOW is one ugly rag.Restore the cross of St.Patrick which is Ireland's proper flag.

[BytheBeardofYmir]

@yumorules I like the one with Dagda's harp.

[XSanQuentinX]

@yumorules The St. Patrick's Flag is Navy Blue with a Harp. St. Patrick's Blue is the National Color of Ireland...Green is the Color of Irish Republicanism. Fuck Religion. Many of our Greatest Irish Freedom Fighters were Protestant, and deserve their Place on Our National Flag...United One and All.... Green , White and Orange ÁBU.

[sainglain]

@XSanQuentinX - Green is the National colour of Ireland. Scotland is blue and england is red.

[XSanQuentinX]

@sainglain Green is the National color of Irish Republic now. Although Saint Patrick's Day has the color green as its theme, one little known fact is that blue was once the color associated with this day and Ireland.

The original color of St. Patrick's Day was not green, but blue. It wasn't until the 19th century that green became Ireland's national color and eventually the color of St. Patrick's Day because of its association with the shamrock, springtime and the Emerald Isle.

[Shiivvyy1]

jesus shut up like..this happend many years ago,,we dnt have our 6 countrys yeah well its better then no land atal,,ireland is peacefull now and thats the way it shall stay

[DagdaEIR]

@Shiivvyy1 I doubt you'd be saying the same if you were born in Northern Ireland. It's people like you that sicken me. You call yourself Irish, but care so little about a quarter of our country, Irish land, that you don't give a shit about it being under British tyranny. You should be ashamed. You're not an Irishman. You disgrace every man and woman that died for our country.

[Todyo1798]

@DagdaEIR

I live in Northern Ireland, and to be fair the "British tryanny" has kinda lessened quite a lot since the 90s.

Oh, and I am a proud Irishman btw. If anything you're the disgrace to Ireland by helping spread the Unionist stereotype that we're all gun toating rebels who want to wipe out entire families of Protestants. You and people who think like you set back the cause of Irish reunification far more than those of us who are content with peace.

[DagdaEIR]

@Todyo1798 Oi. Listen now. I couldn't give a shit about Religion. I'm an Atheist. And ffs, the founder of Irish republicanism is a Protestant. And I don't agree with the murder of civilians. Even if they're Unionist colonialists. I agree with the bombing of British army personel and structures of importance to the British occupancy in the 6 counties. But that's beside the point. What I was so annoyed at is a so called "Irishman" not giving a shit about reunification.

[Todyo1798]

@DagdaEIR

I'm not saying you do care about religion or support murder. But advocating violence of any sort is what makes me not support reunification.

Really? Unionist colonists? My family came from Glasgow around 300 odd years ago, my grandfather is the first one of our family to be born Catholic and he renounced his faith in support of Socialism. My parents don't support reunification because we'd lose the NHS and they'd lose their jobs, I think I'm the only nationalist in the family.

[Shiivvyy1]

@Todyo1798 bahahahahaha ur the one who wrote bk to my comment...ooo your some man i said fuck off and nw ur tryin act like ur the better person bahahahahahaha go n fuckin die for yourself yh waste of space

[djR1chard]

the film true grit has this melody throughout the film :)

[bigirishrob]

The Fight was never about religion it was about the lack of human rights and civil liberties and the suffering the Irish had to Suffer at the hands of The so called British Empire and their puppets known as The Black and Tans. What Gives a Country the right to ban the speaking of another countries native language? And its still going on today. America has become the new "Empire" Invading and Plundering other Countries for resources. Eirin go Bragh agus Tiochfaidh an La

[gmsm520]

the fighting 69th, one of americas greatest, because it was all irish. UP THE RA

[RedPunkBoy92]

fantastic song!!!

[jderoiste]

what is the instrument at the start of this song?? SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME

[cruelintone]

@jderoiste Uilleann pipes, Irish bagpipes.

[cruelintone]

@jderoiste I think at least that's what you are looking for. The other instruments at the beginning are probably banjo, guitar, whistle, accordeon.

[JosehSelah]

I am a Brazilian fan of Ireland. God Save Ireland!

[bullyboy1863]

This is an Irish Confederate song also :)

[richydignam]

@bullyboy1863 strange its a confederate song when it was made 50 years after

[kybris]

@richydignam

actually this is a song from the Irish brigade that fought for the union

[MegaDomino1234]

@bullyboy1863 What the fuck is an "Irish Confederate"? If you want to stick your nose in at least try to get the terms right.

[bullyboy1863]

@MegaDomino1234 You know, from the American Civil War? With the Union and confederates?

I know what the fuck im talking about.

[Cliathairi]

@MegaDomino1234 An Irish confederate could be one of two things an irish soldier of the confederate states during the ACW or a member of the irish confederacy. The irish catholic confederation was an irish country which fought oliver cromwell and the parliamentarians in the war of three kingdoms. hope this helps

[josparkes1]

Rubbish, they are great !

[JOHNCONNELLGROUP]

jockparkes

you must be from the U.S.A. Hmmm

nuff said...

[josparkes1]

Sorry I just think that this a good version, though it may be an early version of the Wolfe Tones, as it doesn't sound like Tommy or Brian, it may be Derek singing here. I am not american, just English with great love of Ireland, and I had an Irish Grandfather. Went to Dublin in August, and saw WTones at T Tree Rock, awesome night.

[SOLARHERO9]

Gilligan's version is much better complete with the bagpipes !

[JOHNCONNELLGROUP]

Yes SolarHero

Gillgams version is a classic version

circa 1970's i think

[josparkes1]

I shall have to have a listen to it later !

[JOHNCONNELLGROUP]

Josparkes1

Do you have the version of Gilligam >??

[josparkes1]

Thanks for your message, no I do not have that version, but will have to have a listen later.

All the best !

This is a great song isn't it.

[JOHNCONNELLGROUP]
