You have murdered our brave Liam and Rory [1]
You have butchered young Richard and Joe
And your hands with their blood are still gory
Fulfilling the work of the foe.

Refrain:
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.

Refrain

We'll stand by Daly and Larkin
By the Provisionals and Sullivan the Bold [2]
And we'll break down the English connections
And we'll win back the nation you sold.

Refrain

You sold out the Six Counties for your freedom
When we have" given you McCracken and Wolfe Tone [3]
And brave Ulstermen have fought for you in Dublin
Now you watch as we fight on alone.

Refrain

And up in Ulster we're fighting on for freedom
For our people they yearn to be free
You executed those men who fought for us
With a hangman from over the sea.

Refrain
Repeat first stanza
