Go on home british soldiers

Voici un article qui m'a été inspiré par un commentaire sur l'Amhrán na bhFiann.

Go on Home British soldiers is a provocative Irish rebel song instructing the British forces that are in Ireland to leave the country, directed at the forces of the British Army that have been in Northern Ireland since 1969. It expresses anger towards the British army and government, as well as expressing support for the Irish Republican Army and Irish republicanism in general. It was made famous at the turn of the millennium by Éire Óg.

The lyrics are by Tommy Skelly and it has been recorded a number of times.

Go on home British soldiers go on home
Have you got no fuck’in homes of your own
For eight hundred years we fought you without fear
And we'll fight you for eight hundred more

Leave us be British solders leave us be

We're fed up with your lies and tyranny

It's now your turn to run, it's us who have the guns

Take a trip and leave us while you may

If you stay British soldiers if you stay,

You'll never ever beat the IRA

The fourteen men in Derry are the last that you will bury

So take a trip and leave us while you may.

No we're not British we're not Saxon we're not English

We're Irish and proud we are to be

So fuck your union jack we want our country back

We want to see old Ireland free once more

Well were fighting British soldiers for the cause

We'll never bow to soldiers because

Throughout our history we were born to be free

So get out British soldiers leave us be.
