Lyrics
Take it down from the mast,
Oh you traitors, the flag we Republicans claim,
It can never belong to Freestaters,
You have brought on it nothing but shame.

Then leave it to those who are willing
To uphold it in war and in peace,
The men who intended to killing
Until England’s tyranny cease.

You have martyred our brave Liam and Roly,
You have butchered poor Richard and Joe,
Your hands with their blood are still gory,
Fulfilling the work of the foe.

Repeat first verse.

For do we stand Enright and Lachen
With Daly and Sullivan bold,
We’ll break down the English connection
And bring back the nation you’ve sold.

Repeat first and 2nd verses.
