Battering Ram - Take It Down From The Mast lyrics

rate me

You have murdered our brave Liam and Rory

You butchered young Richard and Joe

Your hands with their blood are still gory

Fulfilling the work of the foe

Chorus:

Take it down from the mast Irish traitors

It's the flag we Republicans claim

It can never belong to Free-Staters

For you've brought on it nothing but shame

Then leave it to those who are willing

To uphold it in war and in peace

To the men who intend to do killing

Until England's tyranny cease

Chorus

But we stand with Enright and Larkin

By Daly and Sullivan bold

And we'll break down the English connections

And we'll win back the nation you sold

Chorus

You sold out the six counties for your freedom

Though we gave you McCracken and Tone

And brave Ulstermen have fought for you in Dublin

Now you watch as we fight on alone

Chorus

And up in Ulster we're fighting on for freedom

For our people they yearn to be free

You executed those men who fought for us

With a handgun from over the sea

Chorus
