| A great crowd had gathered outside of Kilmainham, | |||
| With their heads all uncovered, they knelt on the ground. | |||
| For inside that grim prison, lay a brave Irish soldier, | |||
| His life for his country about to lay down. | |||
| He went to his death like a true son of Ireland, | |||
| The firing party he bravely did face. | |||
| Then the order rang out: 'Present arms, Fire!' | |||
| James Connolly fell into a ready made grave. | |||
| Many years have gone by since the Irish rebellion, | |||
| When the guns of Brittania they loudly did speak. | |||
| And the bold I.R.A they stood shoulder to shoulder, | |||
| And the blood from their bodies flowed down Sackville Street. | |||
| The Four Courts of Dublin, the English bombarded, | |||
| The spirit of freedom, they tried hard to quell, | |||
| But above all the din, came the cry: 'No surrender!' | |||
| 'Twas the voice of James Connolly, the Irish rebel. | |||
| This song was written for James Connolly a Irish soilder the leader of the ICA (Irish Citizen Army). The Irish band The Wolfetones a little differently but these are the traditional lyrics. | |||
