Billy Reid - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]
I'll sing you a song of a terrible wrong[00:00:16]
When the flags all flew at half mast[00:00:20]
And a man he lay dead he'd been riddled with lead[00:00:24]
He died on the streets of belfast[00:00:29]
And the radio said[00:00:33]
There was another shot dead[00:00:35]
And he died with a gun in his hand[00:00:37]
And he didn't said why billy reid had to die[00:00:41]
He died to free Ireland[00:00:45]
It happened one day when the bold ira[00:00:49]
When out to fight for their land[00:00:53]
With an old Thompson gun put the troops on the run[00:00:57]
And returning to home was their plan[00:01:01]
And there radio said there another shot dead[00:01:05]
And he died with a gun in his hand[00:01:09]
And they didn't said why Billy Reid had to die[00:01:13]
He died to free Ireland[00:01:18]
And returning the guns Billy met British Huns[00:01:22]
And when the fight had begun[00:01:26]
His position was dire and his gun wouldn't fire[00:01:30]
And he died with that old Thompson gun[00:01:34]
And the radio said was another shot dead[00:01:38]
And he died with a gun in his hand[00:01:42]
And they didn't said why Billy Reid had to die[00:01:46]
He died to free Ireland[00:01:50]
Allthough he lay dead he was kicked in the head[00:01:54]
By the hair they dragged him around[00:01:59]
They still fear him yet and they can never forget[00:02:03]
How brave Billy Reid stood his ground[00:02:07]
And the radio said was another shot dead[00:02:11]
And he died with a gun in his hand[00:02:15]
And they didn't said why Billy Reid had to die[00:02:19]
He died to free Ireland[00:02:23]
If you think he was right come and join in the fight[00:02:27]
And help to free Belfast[00:02:31]
For the blood that he shed and although he lay dead[00:02:35]
In our mind his memory will last[00:02:39]
And the radio said was another shot dead[00:02:43]
And he died with a gun in his hand[00:02:48]
And they didn't said why Billy Reid had to die[00:02:52]
He died to free Ireland[00:02:56]
