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

[Verse]
Leave it to those who are willing,
To uphold it in war and in peace,
To the men who intend to do the shooting,
Until England's tyranny cease.

[Chorus]
Oh, take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,
It's flag we Republicans claim,
Never belong to Free Staters,
Who have brought on it nothing but shame.

[Verse]
You've murdered our brave Liam and Rory,
You've butchered young Richard and Joe,
Hands with our blood are still gory,
Fulfilling the work of the foe.

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

[Verse]
You sold out the six counties for your freedom,
Although we gave you McCracken and Tone,
And other men have fought for you in Dublin,
Ah, but you'll watch on as we fight them all alone.

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

[Chorus]
Oh, take it down from the mast, Irish traitors,
It's flag we Republicans claim,
Will never belong to Free Staters,
For you've brought on it nothing but shame.
