[Chorus]
Oh, do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
Oh, do not stand at my grave and cry,
When Ireland lives I do not die.

[Verse]
A woman's place is not at home,
The fight for freedom it still goes on,
Oh, I took up my gun until freedom's day,
I pledged to fight for the IRA.

[Chorus]
So do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
Oh, do not stand at my grave and cry,
When Ireland lives I do not die.

[Verse]
In Armagh's jails, I spent my time,
Strip searches were a British crime,
Oh, degraded me but they could not see,
I suffered this to set Ireland free.

[Chorus]
So do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
Oh, do not stand at my grave and cry,
When Ireland lives I do not die.

[Verse]
Gibraltar's rocks, the place I died,
McCann and Savage were by my side,
And I heard the order, rang loud and shrill,
Of Thatcher's voice, saying, "Shoot to kill."

[Chorus]
So do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
Oh, do not stand at my grave and cry,
When Ireland lives I do not die.

[Chorus]
So do not stand at my grave and weep,
I am not there, I do not sleep,
Oh, do not stand at my grave and cry,
When Ireland lives I do not die,
When Ireland lives I do not die.
