gary og - jame connolly, irish citizen army lyrics
[verse 1]
marchin’ down sackville with the starry plow on high
here comes the citizen army with its fist raised to the sky
leadin’ them is a mighty man with a mad rage in his eye
[chorus]
“my name, it is jame connolly; and i didn’t come here to die
but to fight for the right of the working class
this small farmer too
to protect the proletariat from the bosses and the screws
hold onto your rifles boys, don’t give up the dream!
of a republic for the working class
economic liberty”
[verse 2]
chant “go up all citizens, this system is a curse!
an english boss a monster, and an irish one even worse
they’ll never lock us out again and here’s the reason why:
[chorus]
my name, it is jame connolly; and i didn’t come here to die
but to fight for the right of the working class
this small farmer too
to protect the proletariat from the bosses and the screws
hold onto your rifles boys, don’t give up the dream!
of a republic for the working class
economic liberty”
[verse 3]
over in the gpo with the bullets whizzin’ by
pe+rs+ and seán mac diarmada
biddin’ each other goodbye
up steps out citizen leader with his fist raised to the sky!
[chorus]
“my name, it is jame connolly; and i didn’t come here to die
but to fight for the right of the working class
this small farmer too
to protect the proletariat from the bosses and the screws
hold onto your rifles boys, don’t give up the dream!
of a republic for the working class
economic liberty”
[verse 4]
we fought them to a standstill as the flames lit up the night
then a bullet pierced our leader, then we gave up the fight
they shot him in kilmainham jail, they’ll never stop his cry!
[chorus]
“my name, it is jame connolly; and i didn’t come here to die
but to fight for the right of the working class
this small farmer too
to protect the proletariat from the bosses and the screws
hold onto your rifles boys, don’t give up the dream!
of a republic for the working class
economic liberty”
