Irishman

And as I lay here
 In this prison cell
 I can hear my brothers
 Being laid to rest
 And I know my time
 Has almost come
 When I'm with the lord
 I'll be singing this song
 And I said Aye
 Lye lye lye lye lye
 I'm an Irish Man
 This is my Land
 ♪
 And I married me wife
 In the prison chapel
 Then it ended in minutes
 She said next I'll see you in heaven
 But as I went back
 And awaited my fate
 She was led away
 From the prison gates
 And I said Aye
 Lye lye lye lye lye
 I'm an Irish Man
 This is my Land
 And I said Aye
 Lye lye lye lye lye
 I'm an Irish Man
 This is my Land

 So in the month of May in 1916
 These men were shot and to remain in jail
 All for fighting for your freedom
 
 So each day when you rise
 And each night when you rest your head down
 Spare a thought for all the men women and children
 Who died fighting for it
 These are the men who lost their lives and remain in jail
 And Patrick Pearse, Thomas Clarke, Thomas MacDonagh
 Joseph Plunkett, Edward Daly, William Pearse, Michael O'Hanrahan
 John MacBride
 Éamonn Ceannt, Michael Mallin, Con Colbert, Seán Heuston
 Sean MacDiarmada and James Connolly
 And they said Aye
 Lye lye lye lye lye
 I'm an Irish Man
 This is my Land
 And they said Aye
 Lye lye lye lye lye
 I'm an Irish Man
 This is my Land
 This is my land
 This is my land
 This is my land
 This is my land
 This is my land
 This is our land
