The Column |
| Arise, arise, hear th call of the land, |
| To arms, to arms, fight for the foreign threat. |
| Blood, blood, spill our Irish blood, |
| Honour, honour, for freedom we fight. |
| With their knowledge of war and social ideals |
| They set sail for the chaos in Spain. |
| A country divided by political strife, |
| Devastated by political gain. |
| The Irish Brigade were already there, |
| And had far greater numbers than they, |
| They fought for the church that was wholly corrupt, |
| Ans supported the Catholic way. |
| Arise, arise, hear th call of the land, |
| To arms, to arms, fight for the foreign threat. |
| Blood, blood, spill our Irish blood, |
| Honour, honour, for freedom we fight. |
| The column consisted of working men, |
| Led by their leader Frank Ryan. |
| A noble band of 80 souls |
| Faced the firing line |
| Countless died in the searing Spanish heat, |
| At Jarama many Irish men fell. |
| The Republican brothers were in retreat, |
| The threat they could not quell. |
