My Coffin is Built and I am ready to go
Take me on Parade down that long dirt road
Displayed for the crowds enjoyment
For I shall die, just as poor as I was born
And I've never known any comforts back home
I suffered the worst of employment

chorus
I'm to go to Stephen's Green
They'll take me there in the morning
I'm to go to Stephen's Green
The hangman's noose is Calling

So a thief I became, as my story goes
As a highway man, I walk the old back roads
That all seem to lead down to Dublin
I knew that one day, I'd be caught I suppose
When you strip a rich man down and take away his fancy clothes
Then all the routes seemed un-taken

chorus

Now I'm destined for King's Gold as I sit here and wait
My one regret that I think that I can name
Is that I didn't start robbing rich men sooner
I'm to go to Stephen's Green
They'll take me there in the morning
I'm to go to Stephen's Green
The hangman's noose is Calling
