The Wolfe Tones

The Wolfe Tones are an Irish rebel music band that incorporate Irish traditional music in their songs. Formed in 1963, they take their name from Theobald Wolfe Tone, one of the leaders of the Irish Rebellion of 1798, with the double meaning of a wolf tone – a spurious sound that can affect instruments of the violin family. more »

High upon the gallows tree swung
The noble hearted three
By the vengeful tyrant stricken
In their bloom but they met him face to face
With the courage of their race
And they went with souls
Undaunted to their doom

God save Ireland, said the heroes
God save Ireland, said they all
Whether on the scaffold high
Or the battlefield we die
Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall

Girt around with cruel foes
Still, their courage proudly rose
For they thought of hearts that loved them
Far and near for the millions true and brave
O'er the ocean's swelling wave
And their friends in dear old Ireland
Ever dear

God save Ireland, said the heroes
God save Ireland, said they all
Whether on the scaffold high
Or the battlefield we die
Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall

Climbed they up the rugged stair
Rang their voices out in prayer
Then with England's fatal cord
Around them cast
Close beside the gallows tree
Kissed like brothers lovingly
True to home and faith and
Freedom to the last

God save Ireland, said the heroes
God save Ireland, said they all
Whether on the scaffold high
Or the battlefield we die
Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall

Never to the latest day shall
Their memory pass away
Of the gallant lives thus given for our land
But on the cause must go, 'midst the joy
The weal and woe
Till we make our Isle a nation free and grand

God save Ireland, said the heroes
God save Ireland, said they all
Whether on the scaffold high
Or the battlefield we die
Oh, what matter when for Ireland dear we fall
