Take It Down from the Mast (Easter Week and After) Lyrics by Dominic Behan

Easter Week and After (Songs of the IRA)

0

[Chorus]
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors
The flag we republicans claim
It can never belong to Free Staters
You've brought on it nothin' but shame
[Verse 1]
Then leave it to those who are willin'
To uphold it in war or in peace
The men who intend to do killin'
Until England's tyranny cease
[Verse 2]
You've taken our brave Liam and Rory
You've murdered young Richard and Joe
Your hands with their blood are still gory
Fulfillin' the work of the foe
[Verse 3]
But we stand with Enright and Larkin
With Daly and Sullivan a-bold
We'll break down the English connection
And bring back the nation you sold
[Chorus]
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors
The flag we republicans claim
It can never belong to Free Staters
You've brought on it nothin' but shame
