Take It Down From The Mast
(Trad)
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors
It's the flag we republicans claim
It can never belong to free staters
For they've brought on it nothing but shame

Why not 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

You have murdered our brave Liam and Rory
You've slaughtered young Richard and Joe
Your hands with their blood is still gory
Fulfilling the work of the foe

Why not 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
