Join the British Army ‐ Irish Rebel Song (Lyrics)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 янв 2025
- This rebel song was sung by The Battering Ram and the footage is from the film In the Name of the Father. The lyrics address the concerns of a young man reconsidering his decision of joining the British Army. From verse to verse, examples are given as to why the young man wants to leave the British Army. The song is of Irish origin and has circulated both inside and outside the army since Victorian times. Singers would insert the names of those British soldiers they disliked.
Average British soldier: 💂♀️
Average British soldier to the Irish: 🙉
I'm British and I agree with this
If these people would spend their time building their country (schools, science like the Israelis) instead of killing each other and the British they would be somewhere.

Why are people racist to the british? The germans also viewed the british as monkeys, they had a special name for them: inselaffen 🐵

I had to listen a few times but I’m starting to think this singer actually DOESN’T like the British Army…
Yeah, they're mocking unionists and the british army
You may be right 😯 (36+6=1)
It's a very subtle subtext, but I think you're right.
I hadn't heard these lyrics before! 😍
Nice

I've transcribed the lyrics in case anyone wants to read them all at once (did it by hand so it's exactly this version, minus mistakes). Wrote the chorus down only once for brevity and the final one since that one's different:
When I was young I had a twist for punching babies with me fist
And then I thought I would enlist and join the british army.
Oh too ra loo ra loo ra loo, they're looking for monkeys up in the zoo
And if I had a face like you, I'd join the British army.
When i was young i used to be a finer lad as ever you'd see
and the Prince of Wales, he says to me "Come join the british army"
Corporal Daly went away he left his wife in the family way
and the only thing that she could say was "blame the british army"
Kilted soldiers wear no drawers, Maybe won't you lend them yours?
The poor should always help the poor, god save the british army.
Ian Paisley has the drought, fill him up with Guinness's stout!
He'll beat the enemy with his mouth and save the british army.
We beat the enemy without fuss and leave their bones out in the dust
I know for they quite near beat us, the gallant british army.
So if you're young and in your prime and fond of every kind of crime
I promise you a jolly good time inside the british army
Oh too ra loo ra loo ra loo, I've made me mind up what to do
And i'll work my ticket home to you and i'd fuck the British army.
Great song. Stay tough. Best wishes from Poland
"The planters began breeding the Irish women, because it was profitable. Children of slaves were themselves slaves. Planters then began to breed Irish women with African men to produce more slaves who had lighter skin and brought a higher price. In 1681, legislation was passed “forbidding the practice of mating Irish slave women to African slave men for the purpose of
producing slaves for sale.” Not out of moral consideration, but because slave traders saw it as competation" . I remembered reading about the Irish Slavery not so long ago and this video came when I was looking for this. I'm not Irish but man, no wonder many Irish still resent the British (mainly English) rule.
Yes. That was a very long time ago......
Where is your quote from?
This is complete nonsense. A total myth, never happened.
@@Laura13579that doesn't matter, if the irish dont want to be oppressed anymore, and you STILL try to have some form of control through them (turning them into a dominion first and then not allowing a united Ireland) they are just as bad as their ancestors
Man's cruelty to other men is not restricted by national, racial or religious backgrounds. Let's all pray to Jesus and hope he saves us all for the source of evil.
wonderful piece thanks... the nicest hatesong ever heard...
The rawness of the lyrics is top shelf
god bless the Irish
Aaah ...The Battering Ram.....best music ...
We conquered the world with Irish soldiers, a third of the army in Napoleon times was Irish. Wellington was Irish. Thanks for your service lads
Wellington was not too proud of his Irish heritage. Although beeing born as son of a peer, irish peerage was regarded second class.
Once he said about his birth in Ireland "Beeing born in a stable does not necessarily turn you into a horse."

It took 5,000 irish men in 1916 to bring down the British empire
@@anthonym3351 when they attacked a post office in Dublin? The IRA has a thing for post
@@teddypicker8799 Irish people have a distinction between the heroes of 1916 who helped Ireland achieve independence and the ira terrorists who killed innocent people.
You’d be surprised how many men from the Irish Republic still serve the ranks of the British Army. A tradition that has no signs of ending anytime soon. I’m a reservist, my MT Staff Sergeant’s great grandfather served with the Irish volunteers in the GPO in Dublin 1916. I’ve just come off deployment with the UN, a lad in my platoon is from Dublin. Another in my unit is from County Kerry. When I was in basic we had numerous Northern and Republic of Ireland recruits. We were ordered to call them ‘Paddy’.
"We were ordered to call them ‘Paddy’."

🇮🇪 Long life to Irish people and all the Celtics people, I wish Northern Ireland will get the indépendance from British colonization, Ireland needs to be reunified. Celtics are different from the Germanic colonizer (England) 🇮🇪
A lot of the protestant population of Northern Ireland (so a large part of the population) can trace their roots back to Scotland and to an extent northern England. the Ulster-Scots language which is relatively common in Northern Ireland has its roots in the Scottish language Scots. There is also a reason the oldest recorded record of Irish writing was found in south Wales, cause of the Irish coming over and forming a kingdom that lastest many many years. Now I ain't supporting all the horrific stuff the British establishment did in Ireland but you yourself needs to read a history book.
Are you by chance, American? You do realise Northern Ireland literally has barely any economy. If it got independence, it would be invaded in seconds, or just join another country.

Why do you have northern iIeland shown as part of Ireland?
because they believe northern ireland is rightfully irish
edit: i believe its irish now
fantasy, reality isn't their speciality, too much drink.
Because it is part of Ireland.
@@Damon-p9u Does the Irish government have any authority in Ireland Stop thinking about fantasy and Start thinking about reality. Plus majority of northern Irish want to remain British
@@Damon-p9u Just because you want something doesn't mean it's true. I'm anti Brexit but I don't try to convince myself the UK is still part of the EU just because I want it to be
I have a feeling this joins “We are the FDJ” and “Yankee Doodle” as having ‘the Yankee Doodle effect’. I’ve seen one or two British patriotic clips using this song.
Was used as British originally to make fun of thenselves then Irish used to make fun of then by morphing the lyrics
Does anyone know What This version of the song is called?
the joy of folk songs is that they're rarely based 9ff of written lyrics so theres hundreds of versions
