Chorus:
God save Ireland said the heroes
God save Ireland said they all
High upon the scaffold high, or the battlefield they die
Oh, What matter when for Erin dear they fall
High upon the gallows tree, swung the noble hearted three
By the vengeful tyrant stricken in their bloom
But they met them face to face, with courage of their race
And they went with souls undaunted to their doom
Chorus
Climb they up the rugged stair, rang their voices out in prayer
Then with England's fatal cord around them cast
Close beside the gallows tree, kissed like brothers, lovingly
True to home and faith and freedom to last
Chorus
Never till the latest day, shall the memory fade away
Of the gallant lives that's given for our land
But on the truth must go, amidst the joy, and weal and woe
Till we make our Isle a nation free and grand
