Testo Kevin Barry - Shamróg
Testo della canzone Kevin Barry (Shamróg), tratta dall'album Rebels & Heroes
Mount Joydale, one Monday morning
High above the gallows tree
Kevin Barry gave his young life
For the 'cause of liberty
Just a lot of 18 summers
Yet there's no one can deny
As he walked to death that morning
He proudly held his head up high
Just before he faced the hangman
In his dream In a weary prison cell
Pretty soldiers tortured, buried
Just because he would not tell
All the names of his brave companions
And other things they wish to know
Turn informer or we'll kill you
Kevin Barry answered no
Calmly standing to attention
Quietly bid his last farewell
To his broken-hearted mother
Who sought grief no one could tell
For the cause he proudly cherished
This hard parting ought to be
Then to death walked softly smiling
That old Ireland might be free
Another martyr for Eldar land
Another martyr for the crown
Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish
But can't keep their spirits down
Lads like Barry are no cowards
From the fore they will not fly
Nazis like Barry will free Ireland
Forsake delivered us
