You'll hear the blood hounds bark 

And they'll lay me stiff and stark 

I'm gagged and bound six foot in the ground 

With a bullet in my heart 



But never say die though they'll try to destroy you 

They can strangle hope with the hangman's rope 

But we feel no stranglehold 



And never forget they hanged Captain John Brown 

Though we lost a man we came back again 

With a force one hundred fold 



Let me tell you 'bout police 

They want a piece of me 

Their hate is a beast that lives and breathes 

And fed by the bourgeoisie 



But never say die though they try to destroy you 

They can strangle hope with a hangman's rope 

But we feel no stranglehold 

And never forget our brothers in Braintree 

Though we lost a man we came back again 

With a force one hundred fold 

And never forget out Haymarket martyrs 

Though we lost out men we came back again 

With a force one hundred fold
