High upon the gallows Gtree
Kevin Barry gave his Fyoung Glife
G7For the cause of liberCty
[Verse 2]
Just a Clad of eighteen summers
Yet there's no one can deGny
As he walked to death that FmornGing
He G7proudly held his head on Chigh

In his dreary prison Gcell
British soldiers tortured FBarrGy
G7Just because he would not Ctell
[Verse 4]
The names Cof his brave comrades
And other things they wished to Gknow
"Turn informer or we'll Fkill Gyou"
G7Kevin Barry answered "CNo"
[Verse 5]
Another Cmartyr for old Ireland
Another murder for the Gcrown
Whose brutal laws may kill the FIriGsh
G7But can't keep their spirits Cdown
[Verse 6]
Lads like CBarry are no cowards
From the foe they will not Gfly
Lads like Barry will free FIrelaGnd
G7For her sake they'll live and Cdie
