[Verse]
The struggle is ended, the boys are defeated,
Old Ireland surrounded by sadness and gloom,
We were defeated and shamefully treated,
And I, Robert Emmet, must go to my doom.

[Chorus]
Bold Robert Emmet, the darling of Erin,
Bold Robert Emmet, he died with a smile,
Saying, "Farewell companions, most loyal and daring,
I gave up me life for the Emerald Isle."

[Verse]
Because we attempted to battle the tyrant,
And raise ever higher the flag of our land,
We were insurgents and shameful was Ireland,
And deep in the mire lay our banners go grand.

Oh, then like the phoenix, we'll rise from the ember,
And death to the tyrant, our flag will unfurl,
They will remember that day in September,
They hanged Robert Emmet, most fearless and bold.

[Chorus]
Bold Robert Emmet, the darling of Erin,
Bold Robert Emmet, he'll die with a smile,
Saying, "Goodbye companions, both loyal and daring,
I'll lay down my life for the Emerald Isle.".
