Have you

To know that's where the

Verse 2

Since Cromwell pushed us westward

to live our lowly lives

Some of us have deemed to fight from

Tipperary mountains high

Noble men with wills of iron

who are not afraid to die

And who'll fight with Gaelic

honor held on high

Verse 3
Am 
Em 
A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell,
Am 
Em 
you who raped our Motherland
Am 
Em 
I hope you're rotting down in hell
Am 
for the horrors that you sent
Em 
To our misfortunate forefathers whom
C 
Em 
you robbed of their birthright
Am 
"To hell or Connaught"
Em 
may you burn in hell tonight

Verse 4
Am 
Em 
Of one such man I'd like to speak
Am 
Em 
a rapparee  by name and deed
Am 
Em 
His family dispossessed and slaughtered
Am 
they put a price upon his head
Em 
His name is known in song and story
C 
Em 
and his deeds are legends still
Am 
Em 
And murdered for blood money
Am 
was young Ned of the hill

Verse 5
Em 
And you've robbed our homes and for tunes,
Am 
even drove us from the land
Em 
Am 
Em 
You tried to break our spirit
Am 
but you'll never understand
Em 
The love of dear old Ireland
C 
Em 
that will forge an iron will
Am 
Em 
As long as there are gallant men
Am 
like young Ned of the hill

Verse 6
Am 
Em 
A curse upon you Oliver Cromwell,
Am 
Em 
you who raped our Motherland
Am 
Em 
I hope you're rotting down in hell
Am 
for the horrors that you sent
To our misfortunate forefathers
C 
whom you robbed of their birthright
Em 
Am 
Em 
Am 
"To hell or Connaught" may you burn in hell tonight
