Lyrics

Do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
Do not stand at my grave and cry
When Ireland lives I do not die
A woman's place is not at home
The fight for freedom it still goes on
I took up my gun until freedom's day
I pledged to fight for the IRA
In Armagh jail I served my time
Strip searches were a British crime
Degraded me but they could not see
I would suffer this to see Ireland free
Gibraltar was the place I died
McCann and Savage were by my side
I heard the order so loud and shrill
Of Thatcher's voice, said shoot to kill
So do not stand at my grave and weep
I am not there, I do not sleep
Do not stand at my grave and cry
When Ireland lives I do not die
When Ireland lives I do not die
