I'll sing you a song of a row in the town
When the Green flag went up and the Crown flag came down
'Twas the neatest and sweetest thing ever you saw
And they played the great game they call Erin Go Bragh
God Bless gallant Pearse and his comrades who died
Tom Clark, MacDonagh, MacDiarmad, McBryde
And here's to James Connolly who gave one Hurrah!
And faced the machine guns for Erin Go Bragh
ย
Now one of our leaders was down in Ringsend
For the honour of Ireland to uphold and defend
He had no veteran soldiers but volunteers raw
Playing sweet Mauser music for Erin Go Bragh
Old Ceannt and his comrades like lions at bay
From the South Dublin Union poured death and dismay
But what was then often the invaders men saw
All the dead khaki soldiers on Erin Go Bragh
ย
A great foreign captain was raving that day
Saying: "Give me one hour and I'll blow you away"
But a big Mauser bullet got stuck in his jaw
And he died of lead poison on Erin Go Bragh
A glory to Dublin, to her do renown
In the long generations her fame will go down
And the children will tell how their forefathers saw
The red blaze of freedom o'er Erin Go Bragh
