《England’s Gallows Tree》歌词

[00:00:00] England's Gallows Tree - Ray McAreavey/Johnny Beggan

[00:00:03] 'Tis long since Father Sheehy gave

[00:00:08] His life in dark Clonmel

[00:00:14] 'Tis long since Willie Neilson served

[00:00:20] The cause he loved so well

[00:00:25] 'Tis long since Emmet fought and died

[00:00:31] His native land to free

[00:00:37] And still brave men must climb the stair

[00:00:42] Of England's gallows tree

[00:00:48] When Allen Larkin and O'Brien

[00:00:53] Their noble lives laid down

[00:00:59] We swore that from this land

[00:01:03] We'd drive the forces of the Crown

[00:01:10] But Barry and his comrades

[00:01:15] Died with Ireland still unfree

[00:01:22] And now two more have climbed

[00:01:26] The stair of England's gallows tree

[00:01:33] Brave Peter Barnes he faced his foes

[00:01:38] With calmness on his face

[00:01:44] And James maccormick voiced once more

[00:01:49] The bravery of his race

[00:01:55] Your gibbets and your jail

[00:01:59] He cried no terrors have for me

[00:02:06] For Ireland's cause I'll proudly die

[00:02:12] On England's gallows tree

[00:02:17] No crime was ours

[00:02:20] We fought the fight

[00:02:23] Amongst Ireland's ruthless falls

[00:02:28] Because within young Irish hearts

[00:02:34] The freedom flame still glows

[00:02:39] God bless our land

[00:02:42] God bless the men

[00:02:45] Who'll fight and die as we

[00:02:50] In dungeon dark

[00:02:53] In war's red rout

[00:02:56] Or on England's gallows tree

[00:03:02] The foeman's fear

[00:03:05] The foeman's hate

[00:03:07] Have swept their lives away

[00:03:13] And slaves in Ireland helped

[00:03:17] That foe to hound the I R A

[00:03:24] But bright break stalks the Irish land

[00:03:30] 'Gainst all who'd set her free

[00:03:35] Above her looms the shadow dark

[00:03:41] Of England's gallows tree

[00:03:46] But raise your hearts

[00:03:49] For martyrs' blood was never shed in vain

[00:03:58] The day will dawn the call will come

[00:04:03] And men will march again

[00:04:08] The free Republic proud and strong

[00:04:14] From the shore to shore we'll see

[00:04:20] The true revenge for all who died

[00:04:26] On England's gallows tree
