James ConnollyCollected and Arranged by The Wolfe TonesThe man was all shot through that came to day into the Barrack SquareAnd a soldier I, I am not proud to say that we killed him thereThey brought him from the prison hospital and to see him in that chairI swear his smile would, would far more quickly call a man to prayerMaybe, maybe I don't understand this thing that makes these rebels dieYet all men love freedom and the spring clear in the skyI wouldn't do this deed again for all that I hold byAs I gazed down my rifle at his breast but then, then a soldier I.They say he was different, kindly too apart from all the rest.A lover of the poor-his wounds ill dressed.He faced us like a man who knew a greater painThan blows or bullets ere the world began: died he in vainReady, Present, and him just smiling, Christ I felt my rifle shakeHis wounds all open and around his chair a pool of bloodAnd I swear his lips said, fire before my rifle shot that cursed leadAnd I, I was picked to kill a man like that, James ConnollyA great crowd had gathered outside of KilmainhamTheir heads all uncovered, they knelt to the ground.For inside that grim prisonLay a great Irish soldierHis life for his country about to lay down.He went to his death like a true son of IrelandThe firing party he bravely did faceThen the order rang out: Present arms and fireJames Connolly fell into a ready-made graveThe black flag was hoisted, the cruel deed was overGone was the man who loved Ireland so wellThere was many a sad heart in Dublin that morningWhen they murdered James Connolly-. The Irish rebel
