lyrics

Where oh where is our James Connolly?
Where oh where can that gallant man be?
He has gone to organise the union
That working class might yet be free

Where oh where the Citizen Army?
Where oh where can that gallant band be?
They have gone to join the great Rebellion
To break the chains of slavery.

Who'll carry high our burning flag?
Who'll carry high our Starry Plough?
Who but James Connolly, pale and wounded
Who’ll carry high our red banner now?

They carried him to Kilmainham Prison,
They carried him to the Stone-breakers’ yard,
And they shot him dead that bright May morning
And threw him in a quicklime grave.

We carried him down in yon green garden
With Union members on every side
And we swore we would form a mighty Union
And fill that gallant man with pride

Where oh where is our James Connolly?
Where oh where is that gallant man?
He has gone to organise the union
The hero of the working class.
