Joe Mc Donnell - The Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

Oh my name is Joe McDonnell[00:00:10]

From Belfast town I came[00:00:15]

That city I will never see again[00:00:19]

For in the town of Belfast[00:00:28]

I spent many happy days[00:00:32]

And I loved that town in oh so many ways[00:00:37]

For it's there I spent my childhood[00:00:46]

And found for me a wife[00:00:50]

I then set out to make for her a life[00:00:55]

But all my young ambitions[00:01:04]

Met with bitterness and hate[00:01:08]

I soon found myself inside a prison gate[00:01:12]

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:01:21]

While you look down your gun[00:01:26]

When I think of all the deeds that you have done[00:01:30]

You have plundered many nations[00:01:39]

Divided many lands[00:01:44]

You have terrorized their people[00:01:48]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:01:52]

And you brought this reign of terror to my land[00:01:56]

Through those many months internment[00:02:06]

In the Maidstone and the Maze[00:02:10]

I thought about my land throughout those days[00:02:15]

Why my country was divided[00:02:23]

Why I was now in jail[00:02:28]

Imprisoned without crime or without trial[00:02:33]

And though I love my country[00:02:41]

I am not a bitter man[00:02:46]

I've seen cruelty and injustice at first hand[00:02:50]

So dad what faithful morning[00:02:59]

I shook bold freedom's hand[00:03:04]

For right or wrong I'd try to free my land[00:03:08]

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:03:17]

While you look down your gun[00:03:21]

When I think of all the deeds that you have done[00:03:26]

You have plundered many nations[00:03:35]

Divided many lands[00:03:39]

You have terrorized their peoples[00:03:44]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:03:48]

And you brought this reign of terror to my land[00:03:52]

Then one cold October's morning[00:04:01]

Trapped in the lion's den[00:04:06]

I found myself in prison once again[00:04:10]

I was committed to the H Blocks[00:04:19]

For fourteen years or more[00:04:24]

On the blanket the conditions they were poor[00:04:28]

Then a hunger strike we did commence[00:04:37]

For the dignity of man[00:04:41]

But it seemed to me that no one gave a damn[00:04:46]

But now I am a saddened man[00:04:55]

I've watched my comrades die[00:04:59]

If only people cared or wondered why[00:05:04]

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:05:12]

While you look down your gun[00:05:17]

When I think of all the deeds that you have done[00:05:21]

You have plundered many nations[00:05:30]

Divided many lands[00:05:35]

You have terrorized their peoples[00:05:39]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:05:43]

And you brought this reign of terror to my land[00:05:48]

May god shine on you Bobby Sands[00:05:57]

For the courage you have shown[00:06:02]

May your glory and your fame be widely known[00:06:06]

And francis hughes and Ray McCreesh[00:06:15]

Who died unselfishly[00:06:19]

And Patsy O'Hara and the next in line is me[00:06:24]

And those who lie behind me[00:06:33]

May your courage be the same[00:06:37]

And I pray to god my life was not in vain[00:06:41]

All what sad and bitter was the year of nineteen eighty one[00:06:50]

And everything I'd lost and nothings' what[00:06:59]
