Hank Locklin - Kevin Barry Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • In mount joy jail one Monday morning
  • High upon the gallows tree
  • Kevin Barry gave his young life
  • For the 'cause of liberty
  • Just a lad of eighteen summers
  • Yet no true man can deny
  • As he walked to death that morning
  • He proudly held his head up high
  • Another martyr for old Erin
  • Another martyr for the crown
  • The British laws may crush the Irish
  • But cannot keep their spirits down
  • Just before he faced the hangman
  • In his dreary prison cell
  • The British soldiers tortured Barry
  • Just because he would not tell
  • The name of all his brave companions
  • And other things they wished to know
  • "Turn informer or we'll kill you"
  • Kevin Barry answered "no"
  • Another martyr for old Erin
  • Another martyr for the crown
  • Whose cruel laws may crush the Irish
  • But cannot keep their spirits down
