- This was made in 1917.Our Irish heroes are persecuted
By English tyrants and martial law
Prepare for battle, we will dispute it
For our bleeding country the sword we'll draw
We'll get assistance from foreign armies
Our Irish boys did not die in vain
So well united, once more we'll fight it
And our battle cry will be up Sinn Féin.If we remember our former glory
We'll not be trampled on for evermore
We fought in Dublin, New Ross and Gorey
And died like heroes from shore to shore
Tho' the German rifles went to the bottom
On Casement's honour there is no stain
And Pearse and Colbert are not forgotten
Three cheers for Ireland and up Sinn FéinThat Easter Monday will be remembered
And history's lesson will tell the tale
To awake the dreamers who long have slumbered
And steel the hearts of Clan nan nGael
But Ireland sentences to mutilation
By Redmond, Carson, Lloyd George's Campaign(continues on next page)
