James Connolly was an Irish socialist hero, trade unionist, and republican nationalist. He was one of the leaders of the 1916 Easter Rising
"GPO" stands for the General Post Office in Dublin. It was the headquarters of the leaders of the Easter Rising
The "yeos" refers to the Yeomanry, a voluntary cavalry force that was deployed during the 1798 rebellion in Ireland, especially in the county of Wexford
"The Starry Plough"/"An Camchéachta" is an Irish socialist, republican, nationalist, and revolutionary song by the Druids Irish Folk Band hailing James Connolly and Irish republicanism.
Rise up the starry plough in James Connolly's name!
Rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame!
He joined the transport union so workers could be free,
He fought for Irish freedom for the likes of you and me!
James Connolly came from Scotland, a rebel to the core,
He wanted not just freedom, but socialism and more!
He said when we gain our freedom from England's cruel hands,
We'll have to fight the bankers, we'll have to make a stand!
So, rise up the starry plough in James Connolly's name!
Rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame!
He joined the transport union so workers could be free,
He fought for Irish freedom for the likes of you and me!
He held his life for liberty in the GPO,
He held his life for freedom and he would not let it go!
Well, the Brits, they bombarded them, and they smashed them brick by brick,
He held his life for freedom and the socialist republic!
So, rise up the starry plough in James Connolly's name!
Rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame!
He joined the transport union so workers could be free,
He fought for Irish freedom for the likes of you and me!
Connolly is a hero, and they shot him in a chair,
They took him from the hospital and those who were there,
Well, they set his lips on fire on that Easter morn',
As the bullet pierced his heart, an Irish martyr was born!
What will his legacy be now in this land of mine?
Where nothing has a reason and little has a rhyme?
We fought the yeos in Wexford, we drove out the Black and Tans,
Now we fight the bankers and their greasy hands!
So, rise up the starry plough in James Connolly's name!
Rise up the starry plough for his glory and his fame!
He joined the transport union so workers could be free,
He fought for Irish freedom for the likes of you and me!

"James Connolly came from Scotland,a rebel to the core". As a scotsman in 2024 we could do with a few more like him over here today.
Love to the ever based and glorious people of IRELAND from IRAQ 🇮🇪🇮🇶✊🏼
@@jackraider9113 nostalgic for Saddam or glad to see him gone?
@@TylerChambers-yx2lx he’s not the best and was ruthless, but for those who crossed his path. Also he kept Iran and other extremists in check. So that’s that
Irland Palestine, and the word is always one, Brothers
one struggle one suffer
I will see a 32 county republic within my lifetime
Long live James Connolly,
Long live Socialism,
Long live Revolution!
I love the Irish Revolution, but Socialism is gay as hell. Long live Capitalism.
@@X-VIPRIN You cant love revolution and love capitalism. you sound dumb saying that. Revolution inherently has socialist values
@@X-VIPRIN are you capitalist or worker?
@@MouldMadeMind Worker. I am young and make 15 an hour working in a warehouse, but I am hopeful and educating for my future.
@@X-VIPRIN how much value does your labour produce in comparision to your wage?
Как говорится, слава ИРА!
Absolute banger, I know every word. I tear up
When I think about James Connolly
One struggle from occupied Palestine 🇵🇸 to Ireland 🇮🇪 ❤
Revolution until victory! 🇵🇸🚩🌎✊🏽
Слава Советскому Лимерику!
Irish songs are always great.
Very based
this has to be my favourite irish resistance song
As an Irish communist. This song always touched my heart♥️🇮🇪
I don't just care about the song, but that flag is immaculate.
Why'd y'all have to ditch the Starry Plough as a banner?
As a non communist it I'd catchy and I still play it loudly
@@Andy-ScotsIrish-TheGAEL. Me too. I can't believe communism could work in Ireland. The Irish people suffered enough under a British dictatorship. A communist dictatorship would be worse. Lose all your freedom like the Soviet union, Warsaw pact countries, China and North Korea. Plus they would abolish, all religions, not just Catholicism. 🇦🇺❤️🇮🇪
A Communist is different from Social Demoshits lmao
Based

The USA is funding the mass murder and displacement of palestinians
not a socialist but this song is still a banger
Love & Support from the Socialist Party of America 🇺🇸 ❤
Can someone clarify what he means by fighting the bankers?
Is that meant to be a Nazi thing?
He means fighting the rich, the capital holding elites.
The nazis meant discriminating against jews, because of a conspiracy they made up. Which involves one specific ethnic group being at fault for literally every bad thing ever.
no it means literally the opposite of a “nazi thing” LMAO
It's a socialist thing.
@@a70770 ah thank you
When I see nationalistic colours I have to wonder
socialism and monarchy are the same thing. its a horsehoe of collectivism
Politics understander has logged on.
We are blessed.
that's retarded please stop being retarded.
except neither of you are smart, go read a book, it isn't hard ya lazy sod. @@mEmory______
Your understanding of politics and ideologies are about as efficient and smart as a hedgehogs work in a condom factory.
Might I ask if you think the nazis were socialist?
Free Ireland
Free Palestine
