Kevin Barry - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning[00:00:32]
High upon the gallows tree[00:00:40]
Kevin Barry gave his young life[00:00:48]
For the cause of liberty[00:00:56]
But a lad of eighteen summers[00:01:04]
Yet there's no one can deny[00:01:12]
As he walked to death that morning[00:01:20]
He proudly held his head on high[00:01:27]
Just before he faced the hangman[00:01:36]
In his dreary prison cell[00:01:43]
British soldiers tortured Barry[00:01:51]
Just because he would not tell[00:01:59]
The names of his brave companions[00:02:07]
And other things they wished to know[00:02:15]
"Turn informer or we'll kill you"[00:02:23]
Kevin Barry answered "no"[00:02:31]
Another martyr for old Erin[00:02:39]
Another martyr for the crown[00:02:47]
Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish[00:02:54]
But can't keep their spirits down[00:03:03]
Lads like Barry are no cowards[00:03:11]
From the foe they will not fly[00:03:18]
Lads like Barry will free Ireland[00:03:26]
For her sake they'll live and die[00:03:34]
