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
