England's Gallows Tree - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan[00:00:00]

'Tis long since Father Sheehy gave[00:00:03]

His life in dark Clonmel[00:00:08]

'Tis long since Willie Neilson served[00:00:14]

The cause he loved so well[00:00:20]

'Tis long since Emmet fought and died[00:00:25]

His native land to free[00:00:31]

And still brave men must climb the stair[00:00:37]

Of England's gallows tree[00:00:42]

When Allen Larkin and O'Brien[00:00:48]

Their noble lives laid down[00:00:53]

We swore that from this land[00:00:59]

We'd drive the forces of the Crown[00:01:03]

But Barry and his comrades[00:01:10]

Died with Ireland still unfree[00:01:15]

And now two more have climbed[00:01:22]

The stair of England's gallows tree[00:01:26]

Brave Peter Barnes he faced his foes[00:01:33]

With calmness on his face[00:01:38]

And James maccormick voiced once more[00:01:44]

The bravery of his race[00:01:49]

Your gibbets and your jail[00:01:55]

He cried no terrors have for me[00:01:59]

For Ireland's cause I'll proudly die[00:02:06]

On England's gallows tree[00:02:12]

No crime was ours[00:02:17]

We fought the fight[00:02:20]

Amongst Ireland's ruthless falls[00:02:23]

Because within young Irish hearts[00:02:28]

The freedom flame still glows[00:02:34]

God bless our land[00:02:39]

God bless the men[00:02:42]

Who'll fight and die as we[00:02:45]

In dungeon dark[00:02:50]

In war's red rout[00:02:53]

Or on England's gallows tree[00:02:56]

The foeman's fear[00:03:02]

The foeman's hate[00:03:05]

Have swept their lives away[00:03:07]

And slaves in Ireland helped[00:03:13]

That foe to hound the I R A [00:03:17]

But bright break stalks the Irish land[00:03:24]

'Gainst all who'd set her free[00:03:30]

Above her looms the shadow dark[00:03:35]

Of England's gallows tree[00:03:41]

But raise your hearts[00:03:46]

For martyrs' blood was never shed in vain[00:03:49]

The day will dawn the call will come[00:03:58]

And men will march again[00:04:03]

The free Republic proud and strong[00:04:08]

From the shore to shore we'll see[00:04:14]

The true revenge for all who died[00:04:20]

On England's gallows tree[00:04:26]
