[Verse]
In Ireland's fight for freedom, boys,
The North has played her part,
And though her day has not yet come,
We'll never yet lost heart.

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

[Chorus]
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 Cavehill made a vow,
That England still 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]
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 henry Munro at Ballynahinch,
But for his native land.

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

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

[Outro]
And there's the reason why today,
They keep our lads in Crumlin Gaol.
