Marchin' down O'Connell Street with the Starry Plough on high There goes the Citizen Army with their fists raised in the sky Leading them is a mighty man with a mad rage in his eye "My name is James Connolly - I didn't come here to die But to fight for the rights of the working man The small farmer too To protect the proletariat from the bosses and their screws So hold on to your rifles, boys, and don't give up your dream - Of a Republic for the workin' class and economic liberty"
Then Jem yelled out "Oh citizens,this system is a curse An English boss is a monster, An Irish one even worse They'll never lock us out again and here's the reason why My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die..."
And now we've got the GPO with the bullets whizzin' by With Pearse and Sean McDermott biddin' each other goodbye Up steps our citizen leader and roars out to the sky "My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die...
Oh Lily, I don't want to die, we've got so much to live for And I know we're just goin' out to get slaughtered, but I just can't take any more Just the sight of one more child screamin' from hunger in a Dublin slum Or his mother slavin' 14 hours a day for the scum Who exploit her and take her youth and throw it on a factory floor Oh Lily, I just can't take any more
They've locked us out, they've banned our unions, They even treat their animals better than us No! It's far better to die like a man on your feet than to live forever like some slave on your knees, Lily But don't let them wrap any green flag around me And, for God's sake, don't let them bury me in some field full of harps and shamrocks And whatever you do, don't let them make a martyr out of me No! Rather raise the Starry Plough on high and sing a song of freedom Here's to you, Lily, the rights of man and international revolution"
We fought them to a standstill while the flames lit up the sky 'Til a bullet pierced our leader and we gave up the fight They shot him in Kilmainham jail but they'll never stop his cry "My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die..."
