The Fightin' Men of Crossmaglen is a popular Irish rebel song about the resistance from the people of Armagh to British rule. The lyrics are;

I'll sing a song of the bravest men,
That famous fighting unit from Armagh
They are the men of Crossmaglen
Amongst the bravest Ireland's ever saw

(Chorus)

In Crossmaglen the fire burns true
That patriotic flame will never die
And when you hear that battle cry
It will be the fightin' men from Crossmaglen
At night you'll hear bazookas roar
Armalites are heard across the land
The I.R.A. their spirits soar
They know their reckoning has come to hand

Repeat (Chorus)
