Irish traditional song lyrics — collected by Beer Belly Band.
In Ireland’s fight for freedom, boys, the North has played her part
And though her day has yet to come, we never yet must part
We’ll keep the fight until the end, we know we cannot fail
And there’s the reason why today they keep our lads in Crumlin Jail
So join the fight, you volunteers, it cannot be denied
That jail won’t break their spirits down
They’d just as soon have died for England know
And England hates our fearless Northern name
And that’s another reason why they keep our lads in Crumlin Jail
