[Intro]
G
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,
C G
It's the flag we Republicans claim.
C Em
It can never belong to Free Staters,
C D G
For they've brought on it nothing but shame.
[Verse 1]
G
I'll not leave it to those who are willing
C G
To uphold it in war and in peace,
C Em
To the men who intend to do killing
C D G
Until England's tyranny cease.
[Chorus]
G
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,
C G
It's the flag we Republicans claim.

For they've brought on it nothing but shame.

You have murdered our brave Liam and Rory
C G
You've slaughtered young Richard and Joe

Your hands with their blood are still gory
C D G
Fulfilling the work of the foe.
