John Bull and Gráinne Mhaol – An Irish Ballad of Rebellion and Revenge

“John Bull and Gráinne Mhaol” is a biting satirical Irish ballad that pulls no punches. It tells the tale of Gráinne Mhaol — the legendary pirate queen of Ireland — mocking and defying the bloated, grasping figure of John Bull, a symbol of British imperialism. Verse by verse, the ballad tears into John Bull: the banker, the bully, the merchant, and the saint — exposing his greed, hypocrisy, and brutality. From his fake piety in foreign lands to his pillaging of Ireland’s wealth, this song is as sharp as a knife and as bold as the woman who stands against him. In the end, it’s Gráinne — and her children — who rise. They demand rights, wave their flag, and declare that if John won’t listen, they’ll “kick his Dumbarton.” This isn’t just a folk song — it’s a declaration. #GrainneMhaol #JohnBull #IrishHistory #FolkBallad #RebelSong #TraditionalIrishMusic #PirateQueen #Repeal #IrishRebellion #BalladOfIreland
