Amaranth Origins: Kevin Barry (59* d) ADD Version: Kevin Barry 24 Oct 99


I am looking for about 3 lines I think. The version of Kevin Barry in the database is different from the one I remember. Can anyone help me? Question marks indicate where the lines I can't remember belong.

This has been irking me for years now.

Kevin Barry

Have you heard of Kevin Barry
Who the British had to hang
How lived to free his country
How he died for Ireland.

Back in 21 they caught him
And brought him to the south
Where they tied him and they beat him
And they tried to make him tell

cho.
Tell the names of your companions
And then we will set you free
Tell the names of your companions
And you'll have your liberty

Well they tortured Kevin Barry
In that dirty dungeon cell
Kevin Barry was no traitor
Kevin Barry did not tell
And how well do we remember
On that cold November day
How he faced the British hangman
And he heard the Hangman say

cho.

Well they hung poor Kevin Barry
??
??
??
And if ever you should need him
It doesn't matter where
If you're fighting for your freedom
Kevin Barry will be there.
