Tonart: A major
Verse 1
G
In Mount Joy Jail, one Monday morning,
Am
high upon the gallows tree,
D
Kevin Barry gave his young life
for the cause of liberty.
G
Just the light of eighteen summers
And yet no one can deny
Am
D
As he walked to death that morning
G
He proudly held his head on high
Countly standing to attention
When he bid his last farewell
Am
D
To his broken -hearted mother,
G
whose sad grief no one could tell
For the cause he proudly cherished,
this sarcastic had to be
Am
D
Then to death walk softly smiling,
that old Ireland might be free
G
Just before he faced the hangman
Am
In his dreary prison cell
D
British soldiers tortured Barry
Just because he would not tell
G
The names of his great comrades
And the things they wished to know
Am
D
Turn informer or we'll kill you,
Kevin Barry answered no
G
Another martyr for old Ireland,
another murder for the crown
Am
D
Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish,
but can't keep their spirits down
G
Lads like Barry are no cowards,
Am
D
from the fall they will not fly.
Lads like Barry will free Ireland,
G
for her sake they live and die. you
