Oh, do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep Oh, 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 freedoms day I pledged to fight for the I.R.A. In Armagh jails I served my time Strip searches were a British crime Degraded me but they could not see I suffered this to see Ireland free Gibraltar's Rocks, the place I died McCann and Savage were by my side I heard the order so loud and shrill Of Thatcher's voice, saying: "Shoot to kill" But do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep Oh, do not stand at my grave and cry When Ireland lives I do not die Oh, do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep Oh, do not stand at my grave and cry When Ireland lives I do not die When Ireland lives I do not die
