God Save Ireland

God Save Ireland - The O'Neill Brothers

High upon the gallows tree swung the

Noble hearted three

By the vengeful tyrant stricken in their bloom

But they met him face to face

With the courage of the race

And they went with souls un

Daunted to their doom

Say god save ireland the heroes

God save ireland we all

Whether on the scaffold high

Or the battle field we die

Oh no matter when for

Ireland dear we fall

Girt around with cruel foes still their courage proudly rose

For they thought of hearts that loved them far and near

Of the millions true and brave oer the oceans swelling wave

And the friends of holy ireland ever dear

Say god save ireland the heroes

God save ireland said we all

Whether on the scaffold high

Or the battle field we die

Oh no matter when for

Ireland dear we fall

Climbed they up the rugged stair rang their voices out in prayer

Then with englands fatal cord around them cast

Close beside the gallows tree kissed like brothers lovingly

True to home and faith and freedom to the last

Say god save ireland the heroes

God save ireland said we all

Whether on the scaffold high

Or the battle field we die

Oh no matter when for

Ireland dear we fall

Never till the final day shall their memories pass away

O the gallant lives thus given for our land

On the cause must go amid joy or weal or woe

Till we make our nation free and grand

Say god save ireland the heroes

God save ireland said we all

Whether on the scaffold high

Or the battle field we die

Oh no matter when for

Ireland dear we fall

Say god save ireland the heroes

God save ireland said we all

Whether on the scaffold high

Or the battle field we die

Oh no matter when for

Ireland dear we fall
