The Song Of Partition - The Wolfe Tones

[Chorus]
We'll rant and we'll rave, there's no united Ireland,
We'll scream and we'll shout, to keep us all apart,
We kick up a fuss, to keep us all divided,
And to keep the isle of Ireland a deep-in-trouble land.

[Verse]
We live on this old island they call Ireland,
The Catholics and the Protestants and the Presbyterians too,
We decided that they couldn't live together,
So we divided up the country into two.

They set up a boundary commission,
And that was in the year of Twenty-Two,
We knеw that our friends would not foresake us,
And makе us live in Ireland, thirty-two.

[Chorus]
So we'll rant and we'll rave, there's no united Ireland,
We'll scream and we'll shout, to keep us all apart,
We kick up a fuss, to keep us all divided,
And to keep the isle of Ireland a deep-in-trouble land.

[Verse]
We decided on the six counties, Ulster,
For Carson said that nine, sure, would never do,
There'd be too many papish, then to deal with too,
And we could never make a state with just a few.

There are three loyal counties to the Union,
The other three will never have their say,
We'll make the twenty-six a foreign country,
And pretend that they're a thousand miles away.

[Chorus]
So we'll rant and we'll rave, there's no united Ireland,
We'll scream and we'll shout, to keep us all apart,
We kick up a fuss, to keep us all divided,
And to keep the isle of Ireland a deep-in-trouble land.

[Verse]
We never lived with papists or with fenians,
For they have to obey the rule of the Pope in Rome,
We'll force all the others, then, to leave us,
And have a little state we'll call our own.

So get out the pens, we'll draw the boundary,
Through towns and farms and hills and bogs and all,
And bring us all the bricks that's made in Ireland,
For it's better that we build a bloody wall.

[Chorus]
So we'll rant and we'll rave, there's no united Ireland,
We'll scream and we'll shout, to keep us all apart,
We kick up a fuss, to keep us all divided,
And to keep the isle of Ireland a deep-in-trouble land.

[Chorus]
So we'll rant and we'll rave, there's no united Ireland,
We'll scream and we'll shout, to keep us all apart,
We kick up a fuss, to keep us all divided,
And to keep the isle of Ireland a deep-in-trouble land.
Woo!.
