Oh me name is Joe McDonnell |
| [00:13.248] |
From Belfast Town I came |
| [00:17.660] |
The city I will never see again |
| [00:25.684] |
For in the town of Belfast |
| [00:30.081] |
I spent many happy days |
| [00:34.537] |
I loved that town in oh so many ways |
| [00:42.806] |
For it's there I spent my childhood |
| [00:47.041] |
And found for me a wife |
| [00:51.622] |
I then set out to make for her a life |
| [01:00.157] |
Oh but all my young ambitions |
| [01:04.159] |
Met with bitterness and hate |
| [01:08.633] |
I soon found myself inside a prison gate |
| [01:17.153] |
And you dare to call me a terrorist |
| [01:21.398] |
While you look down your gun |
| [01:25.977] |
When I think of all the deeds that you have done |
| [01:34.202] |
You have plundered many nations |
| [01:38.670] |
Divided many lands |
| [01:42.774] |
You have terrorized their people |
| [01:47.006] |
You ruled with an iron hand |
| [01:51.039] |
And you brought this reign of terror to my land |
| [02:00.126] |
Through those many months internment |
| [02:04.464] |
In the Maidstone and the Maze |
| [02:09.017] |
I thought about my land throughout those days |
| [02:17.110] |
Why my country was divided |
| [02:21.949] |
Why I was now in jail |
| [02:26.168] |
Imprisoned without crime or without trial |
| [02:34.321] |
And though I love my country |
| [02:38.536] |
I'm not a bitter man |
| [02:42.825] |
I've seen cruelty and injustice at first hand |
| [02:51.502] |
So then one faithful morning |
| [02:55.986] |
I shook bold freedom's hand |
| [03:00.397] |
For right or wrong I tried to free my land |
| [03:08.483] |
And you dare to call me a terrorist |
| [03:12.746] |
While you look down your gun |
| [03:17.030] |
When I think of all the deeds that you have done |
| [03:25.595] |
You have plundered many nations |
| [03:30.335] |
Divided many lands |
| [03:34.210] |
You have terrorized their people |
| [03:38.437] |
You ruled with an iron hand |
| [03:42.262] |
And you brought this reign of terror to my land |
| [03:51.446] |
Then one cold October's morning |
| [03:56.130] |
Trapped in a lion's den |
| [04:00.188] |
I found myself in prison once again |
| [04:08.293] |
I was committed to the H-Block |
| [04:12.784] |
For fourteen years or more |
| [04:17.093] |
On the blanket and conditions they were poor |
| [04:25.729] |
Then a hunger strike we did commence |
| [04:29.848] |
For the dignity of man |
| [04:34.244] |
But it seemed to me that no one gave a damn |
| [04:42.888] |
But now I am a saddened man |
| [04:47.463] |
I've watched my comrades die |
| [04:51.768] |
If only people cared or wondered why |
| [04:59.974] |
And you dare to call me a terrorist |
| [05:04.202] |
While you look down your gun |
| [05:08.530] |
When I think of all the deeds that you have done |
| [05:17.010] |
You have plundered many nations |
| [05:21.571] |
Divided many lands |
| [05:25.540] |
You have terrorized their people |
| [05:29.584] |
You ruled with an iron hand |
| [05:33.631] |
And you brought this reign of terror to my land |
| [05:42.831] |
May God shine on you Bobby Sands |
| [05:47.540] |
For the courage you have shown |
| [05:51.557] |
May your glory and your fame be widely known |
| [05:59.941] |
And Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh |
| [06:04.307] |
Who died unselfishly |
| [06:08.895] |
And Patsy O'Hara |
| [06:10.950] |
And next in line is me |
| [06:16.919] |
And for those who lie behind me |
| [06:21.162] |
May your courage be the same |
| [06:25.488] |
And I pray to God my life is not in vain |
| [06:34.310] |
And was sad and bitter was the year of 1981 |
| [06:42.809] |
For everything is lost and nothing is won |
