In MOUNT JOY jail one Monday morning   High upon the gallows tree   Kevin Barry gave his young life   For the 'cause of liberty   Just a lad of eighteen summers   Yet no true man can deny   As he walked to death that morning   He proudly held his head up high      Another martyr for old Erin   Another martyr for the crown   The British laws may crush the Irish   But cannot keep their spirits down      Just before he faced the hangman   In his dreary prison cell   The British soldiers tortured Barry   Just because he would not tell   The name of all his brave companions   And other things they wished to know   An informer or we'll kill you   Kevin Barry answered no      Another martyr for old Erin   Another martyr for the crown   Whose cruel laws may crush the Irish   But CANNOT KEEP their spirits down
