10. 18   Kevin Barry is remembered in a well-known song about his imprisonment and execution, written shortly after his death and still sung today. The tune to "Kevin Barry" was taken from "Rolling Home to Dear Old Ireland".

   In Mountjoy jail one Monday morning
   High upon the gallows tree
   Kevin Barry gave his young life
   For the cause of liberty
   Just a lad of eighteen summers
   Yet there's no one can deny
   As he walked to death that morning
   He proudly held his head on high.
   CHORUS
   Shoot me like an Irish soldier,
   Do not hang me like a dog;
   For I fought for Ireland's freedom
   On that dark September morn,
   All around that little bakery,
   Where we fought them hand to hand.
   Shoot me like an Irish soldier
   For I fought to free Ireland...
