A great crowd had gathered outside of kilmainhaim, the black flag they hoisted The, on the grave of james connolly
And the blood from their bodies flowed down sackville street, you cruel-hearted monster
With their heads uncovered they knelt on the ground, his life for his country about to lay down
The irish rebel, twas the voice of james connolly, when the guns of britannia they loudly did speak
his life for his country about to lay down
for inside that grim prison lay a brave irish soldier
The four courts of dublin the english bombarded, the four courts of dublin the english bombarded
With their heads uncovered they knelt on the ground, when the guns of britannia they loudly did speak
With their heads uncovered they knelt on the ground, the bold ira they stood shoulder to shoulder
The irish rebel, your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell
On the grave of james connolly, your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell, then the order rang out
the bold ira they stood shoulder to shoulder
the irish rebel
The irish rebel, god s curse on you england
Many years have rolled by since that irish rebellion, gone was a man who loved ireland so well
You cruel-hearted monster, his life for his country about to lay down
the spirit of freedom they tried hard to quell
your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell
His life for his country about to lay down, the bold ira they stood shoulder to shoulder, for inside that grim prison lay a brave irish soldier
When they murdered james connolly, the irish rebel
Your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell, james connolly fell into a ready made grave, the four courts of dublin the english bombarded
James connolly fell into a ready made grave, many years have rolled by since that irish rebellion
The firing party he bravely did face, twas the voice of james connolly
james connolly fell into a ready made grave
With their heads uncovered they knelt on the ground, for inside that grim prison lay a brave irish soldier
the cruel deed was over
the irish rebel
The irish rebel, then the order rang out
the spirit of freedom they tried hard to quell
The firing party he bravely did face, his life for his country about to lay down, but above all the din rose the cry no surrender
the irish rebel
twas the voice of james connolly
The irish rebel, james connolly fell into a ready made grave
james connolly fell into a ready made grave
For inside that grim prison lay a brave irish soldier, when the guns of britannia they loudly did speak
the irish rebel
Your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell, the spirit of freedom they tried hard to quell, twas the voice of james connolly
gone was a man who loved ireland so well
the irish rebel
Then the order rang out, there are no flowers blooming but the shamrock is growing
For inside that grim prison lay a brave irish soldier, the firing party he bravely did face
Then the order rang out, the bold ira they stood shoulder to shoulder, the firing party he bravely did face
The black flag they hoisted, gone was a man who loved ireland so well Dublin, you cruel-hearted monster
The bold ira they stood shoulder to shoulder, your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell
Present arms, but above all the din rose the cry no surrender City, present arms
God s curse on you england, your deeds they would shame all the devils in hell, gone was a man who loved ireland so well
there was many a sad heart in dublin that morning
you cruel-hearted monster
twas the voice of james connolly
A great crowd had gathered outside of kilmainhaim, twas the voice of james connolly, james connolly fell into a ready made grave
With their heads uncovered they knelt on the ground, the irish rebel, the irish rebel
Present arms, then the order rang out The, gone was a man who loved ireland so well
And the blood from their bodies flowed down sackville street, his life for his country about to lay down
with their heads uncovered they knelt on the ground
Present arms, with their heads uncovered they knelt on the ground James, the irish rebel
But above all the din rose the cry no surrender, his life for his country about to lay down, gone was a man who loved ireland so well
the firing party he bravely did face
The firing party he bravely did face, many years have rolled by since that irish rebellion James, twas the voice of james connolly
