[Chorus]
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,
It's flag we Republicans claim,
It will never belong to Free Staters,
You have brought on it nothing but shame.

[Verse]
So leave it to those who are willing,
To uphold it through war and in peace,
To men who intend to do killings,
Until England's tyranny is ceased.

[Chorus]
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,
It's flag we Republicans claim,
It will never belong to Free Staters,
You have brought on it nothing but shame.

[Verse]
Well you murdered our brave Liam and Rory,
You butchered young Richard and Joe,
Your hands with their blood are still gory,
From doing the work of the foe.

[Chorus]
Take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,
It's flag we Republicans claim,
It'll never belong to Free Staters,
You have brought on it nothing but shame.
