[chorus]

We remember them with pride,

For on Hunger Strike they died,

Those brave men were Ireland's sons,

They were the men of '81

 

Bobby Sands and Francis Hughes,

On the path that they did choose,

Ray McCreesh was by their side,

In Long Kesh they sadly died.

 

Patsy O'Hara among the brave,

Joe McDonnell he did give,

Their young lives were sadly lost,

With Martin Hurson, for the cause.

 

Kevin Lynch, Keiron Doherty,

With brave Thomas McElwee,

Michael Devine among the ten,

All were Ireland's bravest men.
