Versuri-versuri.ro > Versuri Litera B > Versuri Black 47 > Black 47 - James ConnollyMarchin' down O'Connell Street with the
Starry Plough on high
There goes the Citizen Army with their
fists raised in the sky
Leading them is a mighty man with a mad rage in his eye
"My name is James Connolly - I didn't come here to die
But to fight for the rights of the working man
The small farmer too
To protect the proletariat from the
bosses and their screws
So hold on to your rifles, boys, and
don't give up your dream -
Of a Republic for the workin' class and economic liberty"
Then Jem yelled out "Oh citizens,this system is a curse
An English boss is a monster, An Irish one even worse
They'll never lock us out again and
here's the reason why
My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die..."
And now we've got the GPO with the bullets whizzin' by
With Pearse and Sean McDermott
biddin' each other goodbye
Up steps our citizen leader and roars out to the sky
"My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die...
Oh Lily, I don't want to die, we've got so much to live for
And I know we're just goin' out to get slaughtered,
but I just can't take any more
Just the sight of one more child screamin'
from hunger in a Dublin slum
Or his mother slavin' 14 hours a day for the scum
Who exploit her and take her youth and
throw it on a factory floor
Oh Lily, I just can't take any more
They've locked us out, they've banned our unions,
they even treat their animals better than us
No! It's far better to die like a man on your feet than to
live forever like some slave on your knees, Lily
But don't let them wrap any green flag around me
And, for God's sake, don't let them bury me in some field
full of harps and shamrocks
And whatever you do, don't let them make a
martyr out of me
No! Rather raise the Starry Plough on high and
sing a song of freedom
Here's to you, Lily, the rights of man and
international revolution"
We fought them to a standstill while the flames
lit up the sky
'Til a bullet pierced our leader and we gave up the fight
They shot him in Kilmainham jail but they'll
never stop his cry
"My name is James Connolly, I didn't come here to die
