Take It Down From The Mast	[print]
(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
