[Verse]
It was on a summer's day and from Dundalk he made his way,
Gallant Brendan and his comrades, brave and bold,
To Dungannon they did go, where they faced the ancient foe,
And they gave their lives, our freedom to uphold.

[Chorus]
You live once again as we march behind your name,
On our banners, we're so proud to sing,
As our music feels the air, we know you will be there,
As you marched so many times for Ireland free.

[Chorus]
You live once again as we march behind your name,
On our banners, we're so proud to sing,
As our music feels the air, we know you will be there,
As you marched so many times for Ireland free.

[Verse]
Brendan Convery was his name and from Maghera he came,
Another of South Derry's fighting sons,
From his childhood days he swore he'd see Ireland free once more,
It was to the end he bore a Fenian gun.

[Chorus]
You live once again as we march behind your name,
On our banners, we're so proud to sing,
As our music feels the air, we know you will be there,
As you marched so many times for Ireland free.

[Verse]
Well, Brendan, you are gone, but the spirit will live on,
There wasn't any time for fond farewells,
Your sweet young wife and babe shed their tears upon your grave,
But while the fight goes on, they know you're living still.

[Chorus]
You live once again as we march behind your name,
On our banners, we're so proud to sing,
As our music feels the air, we know you will be there,
As you marched so many times for Ireland free,
As you marched so many times for Ireland free.
