Notes

1 "Christy says of the song, 'The lyric was written by Patrick Galvin - I don't know the source of the music. This is an incomplete lyric - I used to sing a longer version in the sixties. I felt privileged when asked to sing on this compilation and I felt this song would be apt given that Connolly first saw the light of day in 'Auld Reekie'. James Connolly was born in Edinburgh in 1868 and executed in Dublin in 1916. - Christy recorded this track specially for the album. (Notes If It Wisnae for the Union - STUC Centenary Album)"
