  You have murdered our brave Liam  and Rory
  You have butchered young Richard and Joe
  And your hands with their blood are still gory
  Fulfilling the work of the foe.
  
  Diskan :
  So 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 those men who intend to do killing
  Until England's tyranny cease.
  
  (Diskan)
  
  We'll stand by Enright and Larkin
  With Daly and Sullivan the bold
  And we'll break down the English connection
  And bring back the nation you sold.
  
  (Diskan)
  
  You sold out the Six Counties for your freedom
  When we have given you McCracken and Wolfe Tone
  And brave Ulstermen have fought for you in Dublin
  Now you watch as we fight on alone.
  
  (Diskan)
  
  And up in Ulster we're fighting on for freedom114
  For our people they yearn to be free
  You executed those men who fought for us
  With a hangman from over the sea.
