《Kevin Berry》歌词

[00:00:00] Kevin Berry - Lonnie Donegan

[00:00:01] In Mountjoy jail one sunday Monday morning

[00:00:08] High upon the gallows tree

[00:00:15] Kevin Barry gave his young life

[00:00:22] For the cause of liberty

[00:00:29] But a lad of eighteen summers

[00:00:37] Yet no one can deny

[00:00:43] As he walked to death that morning

[00:00:50] He proudly held his head on high

[00:00:59] Just before he faced the hangman

[00:01:05] In his dreary prison cell

[00:01:12] British soldiers tortured Barry

[00:01:19] Just because he would not tell

[00:01:26] The names of his brave companions

[00:01:32] And other things they wished to know

[00:01:40] "Turn informer or we'll kill you"

[00:01:47] Kevin Barry answered "no"

[00:01:54] Calmly standing to attention

[00:02:01] While he bade his last farewell

[00:02:09] To his broken hearted mother

[00:02:15] Whose grief no one can tell

[00:02:19] For the cause he proudly cherished

[00:02:29] This sad parting had to be

[00:02:32] Then to death walked softly smiling

[00:02:33] That old Ireland might be free

[00:02:34] Another martyr for old Ireland

[00:02:36] Another murder for the crown

[00:02:37] Whose brutal laws may kill the Irish

[00:02:38] But can't keep their spirit down

[00:02:40] Lads like Barry are no cowards

[00:02:41] From the foe they will not fly

[00:02:42] Lads like Barry will free Ireland

[00:02:43] For her sake they'll live and die

[00:02:45] @Irish @rebel @death
