The wicklow boy - Christy moore[00:00:01]

As I walked past Portlaoise Prison "I'm innocent" a voice was heard to say"[00:00:12]

My frame-up is almost completed[00:00:22]

My people all look the other way "[00:00:28]

Seven years ago his torture started[00:00:32]

A forced confession he was made to sign[00:00:39]

Young Irish men specially trained and chosen Were on the heavy gang that made him run the line [00:00:43]

Others in the Bride well heard him screaming[00:00:53]

Even prison doctors could see[00:01:00]

His injuries were not self-inflicted[00:01:05]

Those who tipped the scales did not agree [00:01:10]

Give the Wicklow Boy his freedom Give him back his liberty[00:01:15]

Ore are we going to leave him in chains[00:01:24]

While those who framed him up hold the key [00:01:31]

Deprived of human rights by his own people[00:01:35]

Sickened by injustice he jumped bail[00:01:41]

In the Appalachian Mountains found a welcome[00:01:47]

Till his co-accused were both released from jail [00:01:52]

He came back expecting to get justice[00:01:58]

Special Branch took him from the plane[00:02:03]

For five years we've deprived him of his freedom[00:02:08]

The guilty jeer the innocent again [00:02:14]

Give the Wicklow Boy his freedom[00:02:19]

Give him back his liberty[00:02:24]

Ore are we going to leave him in chains[00:02:30]

While those who framed him up hold the key [00:02:35]

The people versus Kelly was the title[00:02:40]

Of the farce we staged at his appeal [00:02:46]

Puppets in well rehearsed collusion[00:02:51]

I often wonder how these men must feel [00:02:57]

As I walked past Portlaoise Prison[00:03:02]

Through concrete and steel a whisper came "My frame-up is almost completed [00:03:07]

I'm innocent Nicky Kelly is my name "[00:03:18]

Give the Wicklow Boy his freedom[00:03:23]

Give him back his liberty[00:03:29]

Ore are we going to leave him in chains[00:03:34]

While those who framed him up hold the key[00:03:39]
