Kevin Barry - Hank Locklin[00:00:00]
In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning[00:00:10]
High upon the gallows tree[00:00:14]
Kevin Barry gave his young life[00:00:20]
In the cause of liberty[00:00:24]
Just a lad of eighteen summers[00:00:29]
Yet no one can deny[00:00:34]
As he walked to death that morning[00:00:38]
Proudly held his head up high[00:00:43]
Proudly held his head up high[00:00:48]
Just before he faced the hangman[00:00:53]
In his dreary prison cell[00:00:57]
French soldiers tortured Barry[00:01:02]
Just because he would not tell[00:01:07]
The name of his brave companions[00:01:11]
And things they wished to know[00:01:16]
An informer or we'll kill you[00:01:21]
Kevin Barry answered no[00:01:26]
Kevin Barry answered no[00:01:31]
Calmly standing to attention[00:01:35]
While he bade his last farewell[00:01:40]
To his broken hearted mother[00:01:44]
Whose grief no one can tell[00:01:49]
For the cause he proudly cherished[00:01:54]
This sad parting had to be[00:01:59]
Then to death he walked softly smiling[00:02:03]
That old Ireland might be free[00:02:08]
Then to death he walked softly smiling[00:02:13]
That old Ireland might be free[00:02:17]
