Lyrics

The Irish stood against the Crown
They bleed and died on Irish ground
Tone Wolfe, O'Neill, Dockery and Dwyer
They lit freedom's fuse and fueled the fire

They fought against British lies
They had to deal with informers and English spies
But they always stood for Irish land
It's where they made freedom's stand
Their long Rifles rebelled against the Crown

They were beaten
Crushed into the ground
But they died with dignity
They left the Irish their integrity

Some call them rebels and freedom fighters
Some call them terrorists and baby killers
But it's The Devil you know, And The Devil you don't
When your backs against the wall, and your courage is gone

They're the Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own

They fought against British lies
They had to deal with informers and English spies
But they always stood for Irish land
It was where they made freedom's stand

Some call them rebels and freedom fighters
Some call them terrorists and baby killers
But it's The Devil you know, And The Devil you don't
When your backs against the wall, who're gonna call

They're the the Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own

Some call them rebels and freedom fighters
Some call them terrorists and baby killers
But it's The Devil you know, And The Devil you don't
When your backs against the wall, and your courage is gone

They're the Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil's Own

The Devil's Own
Oh Yeah
The Devil's Own
Oh yeah
The Devil

The Devils Own
The Devil's Own
The Devil's Own
The Devil's Own
