The Mary Wallopers - The Idler

[@ThePublicans-zn3fk]

The Mary Wallopers and Sean McKenna are the next generation voice of Irish music, listen to this song on repeat, it is epic

[@enekotartun]

Not everything is lost in Europe if the IRISH society can still produce a band and a song like this. The world needs more than ever Irish rebels. Tons of ❤ from your Basque cousins

[@cubanheelsbeerbelly]

Except this isn't Irish rebel music.

[@kof7265]

Yeah it is brother ​@@cubanheelsbeerbelly

[@kof7265]

Irish folk band makes a song that is rebelious againt the status quo and you say " this isnt irish rebel music" like are you deaf or what?😅

[@kof7265]

Mary wallopers are also diametricly opposed to the british empire. So if you dont think they are republicans. I think you need to listen more closely buddy 😂

[@XDWX]

He litteraly sings a line in this song that says its OK for all the newcomers to come in a ruin Irish culture. That's not rebel at all. They are going right along with the gl0balist agenda. If this was 1916 they would be welcoming British rule.

[@andynicholas1728]

A phenomenal view on life. Absolutely SPOT ON. Fantastic song.

[@Owlpunk]

Greetings and solidarity from Germany, I just discovered y'all last week and can't wait to see you live. Free Palestine!

[@keithellis1628]

There is substance and many levels to this band. Hopefully much more to come.

[@Sam-fu9lg]

Sitting on the wall along side the Castletown River in Dundalk. Life wasn't fair on any man they called the 'Idler'.. Never A Truer Word Spoken. 🙏🏻

[@Harrier_DuBois]

Powerful performance form Sean McKenna, I'm sure we will see a lot more of him in the future.

[@mikepalmieri1176]

Found you guys doomscrolling through KZbin. Think I’ve listened to your catalogue at least thirty times this month. Pay day hits and I’ll be snagging Irish Rock N Roll. Thank you for being the sound I need right now ❤

[@Riah-nc6jt]

Love this💖Released on budget day here in Ireland so perfect.❤

[@NailBombed]

True words that need telling. The scroungers are not the poor, but the rich who take from the poor.

Amazing. Always good stuff from you guys

Gorgeous lyrics!

[@seamuswheeler7940]

Fantastic song

[@prangbro]

Love this - the first single with Sean leading and maybe the first Wallopers original? (Apologies if not, but just guessing from the words it's not an old song!)

[@weswood7891]

If this is an original it’s an instant classic!

[@emmetk1786]

Yes, it's an original

[@prangbro]

@@emmetk1786 just heard the album and each of Charles, Seán and Andrew do one original and they're all sensational!

Can't wait to see them in May. What's a "nixer"? "Don't blame the idler who does the odd nixer Does the odd nixer while drawing the dole"

Nice one Seán. That will annoy the c*nts.

It could be Dick Gaughan and I mean that as the highest of compliments. A lovely song but with all the anger in the right places

[@eoinryan3275]

Does anyone know the tuning for this?

[@767wattsy]

Fucken superb song - hard to decide if this or 'Gates of Heaven' is my favourite from the latest album.

[@dogma5781]

I love the mary whollpers

[@SeanD1847]

Is this somewhere in Dundalk? That wee bridge looks familiar

[@LouLou-tl1gv]

Yes it's the Newry road bridge on Dowdallshill road in Dundalk over the castletown river

[@welsher100]

WOW!!! That is all

[@holyglitch1126]

Bold song lad

[@paulfraser915]

Brilliant stuff. The lyrics nail the current situation completely. We need a new, truer narrative.

[@thicketwings05]

Top draw!

[@19billiam95]

Hon the lads

[@ciaranosullivan7791]

Top top notch song fair play to you. An Irish version of "Rich men north of Richmond" perhaps?!

[@armadillotales5296]

Kind of the opposite, actually. Sean seems to be saying do not blame the poor.

[@kennethwalsh3078]

[@squareinsquare2078]

I'm an idler.

[@conor2898]

I love it! More songs calling out the modern-day *hoors* I say ! I'd add another verse, selfishly,: "Don't blame the idler who left the feckin country...". (like me!)

[@con22886]

The idler wouldn't leave the country, he wouldn't be idle anymore.

[@reekiereekie7264]

Don't blame the idle who moves to the county because it's better than there own

[@XTC-c6x]

If clergy was Ireland's number one enemy we would know it. Irish expelled of their lands, Irish during the Great Famine. The clergy, really, or someone else? Think about it and blame the idler who forgets their history.

[@Mdxy987]

Ireland IS full. Apart from that line, good tune

[@ehall2877]

There are less people living in Ireland today than there were in 1840. Did the island shrink? Get your head out your ass.

[@finscall1068]

LAST VERSE Who’s blaming the idler ‘tis no one but anyone it’s the idlers choice how he’ll spend his day it’s only It’s but the idler who chooses his future while some get off their asses and bring home some pay

[@chickmeow9345]

The ones who left Ireland are not the ones living in Ireland. We owe nobody anything, and especially not the same houses the 'idler' can't get.

[@BRAINROTcomps]

Ireland is full!

[@patrickbracken3363]

Says the idler who forgets Ireland's history.

[@BRAINROTcomps]

@@patrickbracken3363 you mean fighting for a century to get out from under the boot of Britain just to turn around and hand the country over to foreigner rape gangs?

[@NailBombed]

You're that type of idler. Shouting outside refugee centres for jobs they haven't been able to take, and that you won't take yourself. Shite in your hands and clap, bud.

[@cubanheelsbeerbelly]

Agree with everything about this song except the line about immigration. Ireland is not a country of immigrants, there were a lot of immigrants from Ireland to America during the great famine or the troubles but most of that immigration happened during that time was from Ellis Island when it legal to sign some papers and he given a green card. Illegal immigration became a policy around the same time that food stamps and other programs became a thing. English and Irish people adopt the worst perspectives of American culture and have the gull to say we're backwards. If this was a few hundred years ago this would be called an invasion.

[@SaorEire]

Lovely song except for anti-clerical nonsense

[@patrickbracken3363]

😅 right enough, sure what did they ever to do anybody 😅😅😅😅

[@BrFAB]

I have some terrible news

[@prangbro]

I agree, the church has only ever been a force for good in Ireland...🤮

[@ciaranosullivan7791]

Ha ha yeah right... clerical nonsense indeed... the cheek of em, I wonder what on earth could he be referring to sure aren't they all fucking angels sent to do God's work on behalf of one of the richest organisations on the planet!

"blame the idler who forgets their history"..and "blame the clergy."..😅 Who expelled the Irish from their land (1600-1760) and who supported them abroad? xoxo from Brittany
