Legion of the Rearguard
Legion of the rearguard answering to Ireland's call
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal
Tone and Emmet guide you though your task be hard
Jimmy Steele will lead us soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
Up the Republic we raise our battle cry
Pearse and McDermott we'll pray for them on high
Eager and ready for love of you we'll die
Proud march the soldiers of the rearguard
Legion of the rearguard answering to Ireland's call
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal
Tone and Emmet guide you though your task be hard
Jimmy Steele will lead us soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
Cork, Kerry, Wexford, Tipperary, Clare
Galway to Dublin, Tyrconnell to Kildare
None shall be missing all Ireland will be there
Wait for the soldiers of the rearguard
Legion of the rearguard answering to Ireland's call
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal
Tone and Emmet guide you though your task be hard
Jimmy Steele will lead us soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
Crimson the roadside the prison wall that gave
Proof of their valor, go sleep in peace ye brave
Comrade tread lightly you're near a hero's grave
Proud died the soldiers of the rearguard
Legion of the rearguard answering to Ireland's call
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal
Tone and Emmet guide you though your task be hard
Jimmy Steele will lead us soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal
Tone and Emmet guide you though your task be hard
Jimmy Steele will lead us soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
Up the Republic we raise our battle cry
Pearse and McDermott we'll pray for them on high
Eager and ready for love of you we'll die
Proud march the soldiers of the rearguard
Legion of the rearguard answering to Ireland's call
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal
Tone and Emmet guide you though your task be hard
Jimmy Steele will lead us soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
Cork, Kerry, Wexford, Tipperary, Clare
Galway to Dublin, Tyrconnell to Kildare
None shall be missing all Ireland will be there
Wait for the soldiers of the rearguard
Legion of the rearguard answering to Ireland's call
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal
Tone and Emmet guide you though your task be hard
Jimmy Steele will lead us soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
Crimson the roadside the prison wall that gave
Proof of their valor, go sleep in peace ye brave
Comrade tread lightly you're near a hero's grave
Proud died the soldiers of the rearguard
Legion of the rearguard answering to Ireland's call
Hark their martial tramp is heard from Cork to Donegal
Tone and Emmet guide you though your task be hard
Jimmy Steele will lead us soldiers of the legion of the rearguard
