[Verse]
In Ireland's fight for freedom many men have fallen,
Their lives given proudly for the cause,
Those gallant lives given for their country,
And to you now their story I will tell.

[Chorus]
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
Let your comrades know you understand,
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
That our lads and lassies will sing along.

[Verse]
Remember Peter Cleary and Fergal Caraher,
Both were murdered by the forces of the Crown,
We'll speak with pride of Jim Lochrie and Sean Campbell,
In South Armagh these gallant men did dwell.

[Chorus]
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
Let your comrades know you understand,
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
That our lads and lassies will sing along.

[Verse]
In North Armagh remember McIlvenna,
Crossey, Burns, Toman and McKerr,
And from Tyrone McKearney, Cauly and Caughy,
McNally, Ryan, Tony Doris, too.

[Chorus]
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
Let your comrades know you understand,
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
That our lads and lassies will sing along.

[Verse]
Remember Pat Kelly and Jim Bryson,
Skipper Burns, Seán Savage and Billy Reid,
These men all hail from the gallant Belfast battalion,
So many more I cannot them all name.

[Chorus]
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
Let your comrades know you understand,
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
That our lads and lassies will sing along.

[Verse]
Let's not forget the girls who died for Ireland,
Petticrew, FitzSimmons and Máire Drumm,
From Portadown came young Julie Dougan,
Mairéad Farrell in Gibraltar made her stand.

[Chorus]
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
Let your comrades know you understand,
Won't you sing them a song, sing a lullaby to heaven,
That our lads and lassies will sing along.
