James Daly ( mutineer ) " James Daly " ( died 2 November 1920 ) was a member of a mutiny of the Connaught Rangers in India in 1920
The grey dawn has crept o'er the stillness of morning, The dew drops they glisten like icicles breath, The notes of the bugle have sounded their warning, A young Connaught Ranger lay sentenced to death, No cold-blooded murder had stained his pure conscience, He called as a witness his maker on high, He'd simply been fighting for Ireland's loved freedom, Arrested and tried he was sentenced to die Chorus: Lay him away on the hillside, Along with the brave and the bold, Inscribe his name on the scroll of fame, In letters of purest gold, My conscience will never convict me, He said with his dying breath, May God bless the cause of freedom, For which I am sentenced to death....
