Recorded by The Dublin City Ramblers about the prison escape of Crumlin Road jail in Belfast Ireland.

In [G] Crumlin Road jail the [C] prisoners one day
Took [D] out a football and [G] started to play
And while all the warders were [C] watching the ball
[D] Nine of the prisoners jumped [C] over the [G] wall

[chorus]

Robert Emmet (4 March 1778 – 20 September 1803) was an Irish nationalist and Republican, orator and rebel leader. He led an abortive rebellion against British rule in 1803. He was captured by the British, tried and executed for high treason against the British king.

The struggle is over, the boys are defeated,
Old Ireland`s surrounded with sadness and gloom,
We were defeated and shamefuIIy treated,
And I, Robert Emmet, awaiting my doom.
Hung, drawn and quartered, sure that was my sentence,
But soon I will show them no coward am I.

Its up like a bird and its over the city
"Three men are missing" I heard the warder cry
"Sure it must have been a bird that flew into the prison
Or one of these new Ministers" says the warder in the joy

Early one morning as the branchmen they were sleeping
A little helicopter flew across the sky
Down into the yard where some prisoners were walking

THE MEN BEHIND THE WIRE

Armoured cars and tanks and guns
Came to take away our sons
But every man will stand behind
The Men Behind the Wire

Through the little streets of Belfast
