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 An 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
