Joe Mcdonnell - Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

Written by：Wolfe Tones[00:00:00]

O me name is Joe Mcdonnell[00:00:00]

From bel fast town I came[00:00:04]

That city I will[00:00:09]

Never see again[00:00:11]

For in the town of bel fast[00:00:17]

I spent many happy days[00:00:21]

I love that town in oh so many ways[00:00:26]

For it's there I spent my childhood[00:00:35]

And found for me a wife[00:00:39]

I then set out to make[00:00:44]

For her a life[00:00:48]

But all my young ambitions[00:00:53]

Met with bitterness and hate[00:00:57]

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

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:01:10]

While you looked down your gun[00:01:15]

When I think of all the deeds[00:01:19]

That you had done[00:01:23]

You had plundered many nations[00:01:28]

Divided many lands[00:01:33]

You had terrorized their peoples[00:01:37]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:01:41]

And you brought[00:01:46]

This reign of terror to my land[00:01:48]

Through those many months internment[00:01:55]

In the maid stone and the maze[00:01:59]

I thought about my land[00:02:04]

Throughout those days[00:02:08]

Why my country was divided[00:02:12]

Why I was now in jail[00:02:17]

Imprisoned without crime or without trial[00:02:22]

And though I love my country[00:02:30]

I'm not a bitter man[00:02:35]

I've seen cruelty[00:02:39]

And injustice at first hand[00:02:41]

So then one fateful morning[00:02:48]

I shook bold freedom's hand[00:02:53]

For right or wrong[00:02:57]

I'd try to free my land[00:03:00]

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:03:06]

While you looked down your gun[00:03:10]

When I think of all the deeds[00:03:15]

That you had done[00:03:19]

You had plundered many nations[00:03:24]

Divided many lands[00:03:28]

You had terrorized their peoples[00:03:33]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:03:37]

And you brought[00:03:41]

This reign of terror to my land[00:03:43]

Then one cold October morning[00:03:50]

Trapped in a lion's den[00:03:55]

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

I was committed to the h blocks[00:04:08]

For fourteen years or more[00:04:13]

On the blanket the conditions they were poor[00:04:17]

Then a hunger strike[00:04:26]

We did commence for the dignity of man[00:04:28]

But it seemed to me[00:04:35]

That no one gave a d**n[00:04:37]

But now I'm a saddened man[00:04:45]

I've watched my comrades die[00:04:48]

If only people cared or wondered why[00:04:53]

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:05:01]

While you looked down your gun[00:05:06]

When I think of all the deeds[00:05:11]

That you had done[00:05:14]

You had plundered many nations[00:05:19]

Divided many lands[00:05:24]

You had terrorized their peoples[00:05:28]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:05:32]

And you brought[00:05:37]

This reign of terror to my land[00:05:39]

May God shine on you bobby sands[00:05:46]

For the courage you have shown[00:05:51]

May your glory[00:05:55]

And your fame be widely known[00:05:57]

And Francis Hughes[00:06:04]

And ray screenwash who died unselfishly[00:06:06]

And patsy o hare[00:06:13]

And the next in line is me[00:06:15]

And those who lie behind me[00:06:22]

May you're courage be the same[00:06:26]

And I pray to God[00:06:30]

My life is not in vain[00:06:33]

Ah but sad[00:06:39]

And bitter was the year of 1981[00:06:41]

For everything I've lost and nothing's won[00:06:48]
