In Ireland's fight for freedom, boys,
The North has played its part,
Though freedom's day has still to dawn,
We never yet lost heart,
We'll fight it out until the end,
We'll fight for we cannot fail,
We know we'll win although they have,
Our lads in Crumlin Gaol.

We gave to Erin Owen Roe,
We gave her Shane O'Neill,
And Tone and Cavehill made a vow,
That England still can feel,
Joe McKelvey did not die in vain,
He to drove home a nail,
And that's another reason why,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Gaol.

The I, the I, the IRA.

Keep on the fight, you volunteers,
For God is on your side.
No jail can break our brave young men,
No prison can damp their pride,
For England knows and England fears,
Our fearless Northern Gael,
And that's another reason why,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Gaol.

For England knows and England fears,
Our fearless Northern Gael,
And that's another reason why,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Gaol.

Yes, that's another reason why,
We'll free our lads in Crumlin Gaol.
