[Verse 1]
CIn Dublin City in nineteen Fthirteen
The boss was Grich and the poor were Cslaves
The women Cworking and children Fstarving
Then on came GLarkin like a mighty Cwave
The workers Ccringed when the boss man Fthundered
Seventy Ghours was his weekly chore
He asked for Clittle and less was Fgranted
Lest given Glittle then he'd ask for Cmore
[Verse 2]
CIn the month of August the boss man Ftold us
No union Gman for him could Cwork
We stood by CLarkin and told the Fboss man
We'd fight or Gdie, but we wouldn't Cshirk
Eight months we Cfought and eight months we Fstarved
We stood by GLarkin through thick and thin
But foodless Chomes and the crying of Fchildren
It broke our Ghearts, we just couldn't Cwin
[Verse 3]
CThen Larkin left us, we seemed Fdefeated
The night was Gblack for the working Cman
But on Ccame Connolly with new hope and Fcounsel
His motto Gwas that we'd rise aCgain
In nineteen Csixteen in Dublin FCity
The English Gsoldiers they burnt our town
The shelled Cour buildings and shot our Fleaders
The Harp was Gburied 'neath the bloody Ccrown
[Verse 4]
They shot McCDermott and Pearse and FPlunkett
They shot McGDonagh and Clarke the Cbrave
From bleak KCilmainham they took Ceannt's Fbody
To Arbour GHill and a quicklime Cgrave
But last of Call of the seven Fheroes
I sing the Gpraise of James Connolly
The voice of Cjustice, the voice of Ffreedom
He gave his Glife, that man might be Cfree
