[00:00.00]Kevin Barry - Lonnie Donegan
[00:01.76]In Mountjoy jail one sunday Monday morning
[00:08.49]High upon the gallows tree
[00:15.49]Kevin Barry gave his young life
[00:22.59]For the cause of liberty
[00:29.64]But a lad of eighteen summers
[00:36.94]Yet no one can deny
[00:43.75]As he walked to death that morning
[00:50.61]He proudly held his head on high
[00:59.03]Just before he faced the hangman
[01:05.40]In his dreary prison cell
[01:12.51]British soldiers tortured Barry
[01:19.32]Just because he would not tell
[01:26.12]The names of his brave companions
[01:32.61]And other things they wished to know
[01:40.29]"Turn informer or we'll kill you"
[01:47.21]Kevin Barry answered"no"
[01:53.95]Calmly standing to attention
[02:01.37]While he bade his last farewell
[02:09.05]To his broken hearted mother
[02:15.61]Whose grief no one can tell
[02:19.79]For the cause he proudly cherished
[02:29.45]This sad parting had to be
[02:31.95]Then to death walked softly smiling
[02:33.57]That old Ireland might be free
[02:34.88]Another martyr for old Ireland
[02:36.64]Another murder for the crown
[02:37.63]Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish
[02:38.88]But can't keep their spirit down
[02:40.13]Lads like Barry are no cowards
[02:41.38]From the foe they will not fly
[02:42.37]Lads like Barry will free Ireland
[02:43.43]For her sake they'll live and die
