=============================
High up-on the gal-lows tree swung
the no-ble heart-ed three
By the venge-ful ty-rant
strick-en in their bloom
But they met him face to face
with the cour-age of their race
And they went with souls
un-daunt-ed to their doom
God save Ire-land, said the he-roes
God save Ire-land, said they all
Wheth-er on the scaf-fold high
Or the bat-tle-field we die
Oh, what mat-ter when
for Er-in dear we fall
Climbed they up the rug-ged stair,
rang their voi-ces out in prayer
Then with Eng-land's fa-tal
cord a-round them cast
Close be-side the gal-lows
tree kissed like bro-thers lov-ing-ly
True to home and faith
and free-dom to the last
God save Ire-land, said the he-roes
God save Ire-land, said they all
Wheth-er on the scaf-fold high
Or the bat-tle-field we die
Oh, what mat-ter when
for Er-in dear we fall
Nev-er till the lat-est day shall
the mem-ory pass a-way
Of the gal-lant lives thus
giv-en for our land
But on the cause must go,
a-midst joy and weal and woe
Till we make our Isle a
na-tion free and grand
God save Ire-land, said the he-roes
God save Ire-land, said they all
Wheth-er on the scaf-fold high
Or the bat-tle-field we die
Oh, what mat-ter when
for Er-in dear we fall
God save Ire-land, said the he-roes
God save Ire-land, said they all
Wheth-er on the scaf-fold high
Or the bat-tle-field we die
Oh, what mat-ter when
for Er-in dear we fall
