lirik lagu the freedom fighters (irish rebel band) - kevin barry
in mountjoy jail one monday morning, high upon the gallows tree
kevin barry gave his young life for the cause of liberty
but a lad of eighteen summers, yet no~one can deny
as he walked to death that morning, he proudly held his head on high
(why not shoot me, just like a soldier? and do not hang me like a dog. for i fought to free old ireland on that bright september morn)
all around that little bakery, where we fought them hand to hand
why not shoot me, just like a soldier? for i’ve fought to free ireland
just before he faced the hangman, in his dreary prison cell
british soldiers tortured barry, just because he would not tell
the names of his companions and other things they wished to know
“turn informer or we’ll k!ll you”; kevin barry answered “no.”
calmly standing to attention as he bade his last farewell
to his broken~hearted mother, whose sad grief no~one can tell
for the cause he proudly cherished, this sad parting had to be
then to death walked, softly smiling
that old ireland might be free
another martyr for old ireland, another murder for the crown
whose brutal laws may k!ll the irish but can’t keep their spirit down
lads like barry are no cowards; from the foe they will not fly
lads like barry will free ireland; for her sake they live and die
for her sake they live and die
