[Verse]
In Ireland's fight for freedom, boys,
The North has played her part,
And though her day is yet to come,
We never yet must part.

We'll keep the fight until the end,
We know we cannot fail,
And there's the reason why today,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Gaol.

[Chorus]
So, join the fight, you volunteers,
It cannot be denied,
That jail won't break their spirits down,
They'd just as soon have died.

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

[Verse]
We gave to Ireland Owen Roe,
We gave them Shane O'Neill,
And Tone and Mitchell made a vow,
That England yet would yield.

McKelvey did not die in vain,
He was a Northern Gael,
And there's the reason why today,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Gaol.

[Chorus]
So, join the fight, you volunteers,
It cannot be denied,
That jail won't break their spirits down,
They'd just as soon have died.

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

[Verse]
McCracken came from Belfast town,
McCorry from the Bann,
And brave Harry Munro at Ballynahinch,
But for his native land.

Tom Williams died on scaffold high,
His fame shall never fail,
And there's the reason why today,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Gaol.

[Chorus]
So, join the fight, you volunteers,
It cannot be denied,
That jail won't break their spirits down,
They'd just as soon have died.

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