Oh father dear tell me if you can
Who are these men who have haunted my childhood
All round this neighbourhood
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
O son o son on Connolly Road
We remember James Connolly
He was a brave man, he tried to set his people free
He fought a hard war against great poverty and inequality
He was shot down in a cold prison yard
Son they were brave men and we remember them
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
Oh son oh son on Plunkett Road
We remember Joseph Mary Plunkett
He was a brave man, he tried to set his people free
I see his blood upon the rose and in the stars
The glory of his eyes
He was shot down in a cold prison yard
Son they were brave men and we remember them
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
Oh father dear tell me if you can
Who are these men who have haunted my childhood
All round this neighbourhood
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
Oh son oh son on Pearse Road we remember Padraig Pearse
He was a brave man, he tried to set his people free
He understood that the blossom will fade
But in the springtime it will be re-made
And rise again and rise again and rise again
He was shot down in a cold prison yard
Son they were brave men and we remember them
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
Around the streets of Ballyphehane
