D'ya remember back in the Five Points   When the fire was in the air   And the streets were hot as the hob of hell   And the bodies was everywhere   Then ould Johnny jumped up on a burnin' plank   He roared out to the sky   "I didn't come here to America   To give up the ghost and die"      I didn't come here to America   Across the ragin' foam   To die like a slave in a pigsty   I came here to find a home   Where I could live with dignity   And hold me head up high   So don't go messin' with me or me family      Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky      Them soldier boys are runnin' wild   Down by the Gates of Hell   I must get to St. Patrick's   To ring the warnin' bell   I won't join their bloody army   Sooner burn down Kerosene Row   So to hell with your kings and your presidents   Let them fight their own bloody wars-oh   Don't say you love me   Unless you really do   I haven't got time to be wastin' on the likes of you      Don't say you'll sleep with me   Unless you'll follow through   Them bully boys are closin' in   They'll be crackin' heads for the price of gin   But they better look out 'cause - here come the Boys in Green      D'ya remember back in the Five Points   When the fire was in the air   And the streets were hot as the hob of hell   And the bodies was everywhere   And ould Johnny stood up on a burnin' plank   And he roared out to the sky   I didn't come here to America   To give up the ghost and die      I didn't come here to America   Across the ragin' foam   To die like a slave in a pigsty   I came here to find a home   Where I could live with dignity   And hold me head up high   So don't go messin' with me or me family      Or I'll blow these Five Points to the sky
