The Wolfe Tones - Let's Go Irish (You'll Never Beat the Irish) lyrics

rate me

We are the Fighting Irish, we're a team called Notre Dame

From a humble little Catholic school on the Indiana plain

In the year of 1919, we beat Army with acclaim

And Dorais and Rockne brought some class

They introduced the forward pass.

(...)

To play against the Big Ten the Irish had been banned

So Rockne and his Ramblers traveled all across the land

In '24 the Horsemen rode against the blue-gray sky

The Gipper's deathbed wish came true with victory for the Gold and Blue

Chorus:

You'll never beat the Irish

No matter what you do

you can put us down and keep us out, but we'll come back again

You know we are the Fighting Irish and we'll fight until the end

You know you should have known you'll never beat the Irish

All across the century we watched the Irish rise

To the top of College football to our rivals' great surprise

It was Hart, Bertelli, Lujack too, they led them with great poise

Then Brennan's Boys caused a stir with Oklahoma's streak's demise

With Ara Parseghian and Lou Holtz the Irish won great fame

For the legends of the football field

Are the best at Notre Dame

A new golden age of football in South Bend now begins

As Kelly writes new chapters with great new mighty Irish wins

Chorus:

You'll never beat the Irish

No matter what you do

You can put us down and keep us out but we'll come back again

You know we are the Fighting Irish and we'll fight until the end

You know you should have known you'll never beat the Irish
