He went to his death like a true son of Erin
The firing party he bravely did face
Then the order ran out, “Present arms” and “Fire!”
James Connolly fell into a readymade grave
The black flag was hoisted, the cruel deed was over
Gone was the man who loved Ireland so well
There was many a sad heart in Dublin that morning
When they murdered James Connolly, the Irish rebel
Many years have rolled by since that Irish rebellion
When the guns of Britannia they loudly did speak
And the bold IRA they stood shoulder to shoulder
As 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
