I am a true born Irishman
John Mitchell is my name
To free my land and countrymen
From Newry town I came
When first I joined the
brotherhood
It was in '42, and then what
happened after, I am going to
relate to you.
I raised the standard of Repeal
and gloried on the deed
But I vowed to Heaven I never
would die untill Ireland would
be free.
