The Wolfe Tones - Celtic People Lyrics

The Wolfe Tones Lyrics

"Celtic People"

I'm proud to be a Celtic supporter
We don't sing sectarian songs
We sing the songs of Ireland's freedom
Sing the songs of our native land
We're not bitter, hateful people
Happy as the day is long
We fought injustice and resentment
Discrimination across this land
We're proud to be the Celtic people, this is our history

Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
Celtic, Celtic
Having much more fun than I thought I'd ever have
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
We're top of the world, we're walking on sunshine
Simply the best there can be!
I'm walking on air, we're over the moon
We're happy go lucky and easy and free
We're Celtic supporters all over the world
Simply the best there can be!
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!

When the Scots of Erin came to Alba
That's how Scotland got its name
They brought the culture and the language
Till the land became Argyle
Saint Columba came to Iona, bringing gifts across the sea
The gift of the music, education, peace and love, Christianity
We're proud to be the Celtic people, this is our history

Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
Celtic, Celtic
Having much more fun than I thought I'd ever have
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
We're top of the world, we're walking on sunshine
Simply the best there can be!
I'm walking on air, we're over the moon
We're happy go lucky and easy and free
We're Celtic supporters all over the world
Simply the best there can be!
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!

How could there be a famine in Ireland
When Ireland had an abundance of food?
Enough to feed thirty million
Taken away by the point of a gun
Forty thousand well-fed soldiers
Sent to take our food away
Leaving Irish people starving
Death and disease consumed our land
Proud to be the Celtic people, this is our history

Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
Celtic, Celtic, having much more fun than I thought I'd ever have
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
We're top of the world, we're walking on sunshine
Simply the best there can be!
I'm walking on air, we're over the moon
We're happy go lucky and easy and free
We're Celtic supporters all over the world
Simply the best there can be!
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
Celtic, Celtic, whoa!
