[Verse]
In the rebel heart of Donegal,
Where Rosses rocky shore,
Four martyrs lie in heroes grave,
And our cherries never more.

They kept the cause close to their heart,
While others turned away,
They played their part and did not shirk,
To serve the IRA.

[Chorus]
I am a Rosses rebel,
And proud to be the same,
For one and all, here in Donegal,
We reject the Saxon claim!

We've played our part in freedom's fight,
We'll play our part again,
We'll never cease until we see,
Our nation free again!

[Verse]
We'll not forget Con 'Beezer' Boyle,
We'll speak his name with pride,
And here's to Neil Plunkett Boyle,
In the Wicklow hills he died.

Glashbeggan gave us Owen Boyle,
Who never feared the foe,
And the finest flower from Cumann na mBan,
Was Mary McBride from Dungloe!

[Chorus]
I am a Rosses rebel,
And proud to be the same,
For one and all, here in Donegal,
We reject the Saxon claim!

We've played our part in freedom's fight,
We'll play our part again,
We'll never cease until we see,
Our nation free again!

[Verse]
You rebels of the Rosses,
You live in memory yet,
You kept the green flag flying high,
And we owe you a debt.

High in the hills of Donegal,
You kept alive the flame,
And freedom's light still burning bright,
Though you're in a martyr's grave!

[Chorus]
I am a Rosses rebel,
And proud to be the same,
For one and all, here in Donegal,
We reject the Saxon claim!

We've played our part in freedom's fight,
We'll play our part again,
We'll never cease until we see,
Our nation free again!

[Outro]
No, we'll never cease until we see,
Our nation free again!.
