Kevin Berry - Lonnie Donegan[00:00:00]

In Mountjoy jail one sunday Monday morning[00:00:01]

High upon the gallows tree[00:00:08]

Kevin Barry gave his young life[00:00:15]

For the cause of liberty[00:00:22]

But a lad of eighteen summers[00:00:29]

Yet no one can deny[00:00:37]

As he walked to death that morning[00:00:43]

He proudly held his head on high[00:00:50]

Just before he faced the hangman[00:00:59]

In his dreary prison cell[00:01:05]

British soldiers tortured Barry[00:01:12]

Just because he would not tell[00:01:19]

The names of his brave companions[00:01:26]

And other things they wished to know[00:01:32]

"Turn informer or we'll kill you"[00:01:40]

Kevin Barry answered "no"[00:01:47]

Calmly standing to attention[00:01:54]

While he bade his last farewell[00:02:01]

To his broken hearted mother[00:02:09]

Whose grief no one can tell[00:02:15]

For the cause he proudly cherished[00:02:19]

This sad parting had to be[00:02:29]

Then to death walked softly smiling[00:02:32]

That old Ireland might be free[00:02:33]

Another martyr for old Ireland[00:02:34]

Another murder for the crown[00:02:36]

Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish[00:02:37]

But can't keep their spirit down[00:02:38]

Lads like Barry are no cowards[00:02:40]

From the foe they will not fly[00:02:41]

Lads like Barry will free Ireland[00:02:42]

For her sake they'll live and die[00:02:43]
