The Ballad Of Billy Reid - Patsy Watchorn[00:00:00]
I'll sing you a song of a terrible wrong[00:00:04]
When the flags all flew at half mast [00:00:08]
And a man he lay dead [00:00:12]
He'd been riddled with lead [00:00:14]
And he died on the streets of Belfast [00:00:16]
The radio said [00:00:20]
There was another shot dead[00:00:22]
And he died with a gun in his hand [00:00:24]
But they never say[00:00:27]
Why Billy Reid had to die[00:00:29]
For he died to free Ireland [00:00:31]
It happened one day when the bold I R A [00:00:35]
Went out to fight for their land [00:00:39]
With an old Thompson gun [00:00:43]
Put the troops on the run[00:00:45]
And return to their homes was their plan [00:00:47]
The radio said [00:00:51]
There was another shot dead[00:00:53]
And he died with a gun in his hand [00:00:55]
But they never say[00:00:59]
Why Billy Reid had to die[00:01:00]
For he died to free Ireland [00:01:03]
While returning the guns [00:01:07]
Billy met British huns[00:01:09]
When the fight had begun[00:01:11]
His position was dire[00:01:15]
When his gun wouldn't fire[00:01:17]
So he died with that old Thopson gun [00:01:19]
On the radio said [00:01:23]
There was another shot dead[00:01:25]
And he died with a gun in his hand [00:01:27]
But they never say[00:01:31]
Why Billy Reid had to die[00:01:32]
For he died to free Ireland [00:01:35]
Although he lay dead [00:01:39]
He was kicked in the head [00:01:41]
By the hair they dragged him around [00:01:43]
But they still fear him yet [00:01:46]
And we can never forget[00:01:48]
How brave Billy Reid stood his ground [00:01:51]
On the radio said [00:01:54]
There was another shot dead[00:01:56]
And he died with a gun in his hand [00:01:59]
But they never say[00:02:02]
Why Billy Reid had to die[00:02:04]
For he died to free Ireland [00:02:06]
If you think he was right [00:02:10]
Come and join in the fight[00:02:12]
And help to free Belfast [00:02:14]
For the blood that he shed [00:02:18]
And although he lies dead [00:02:20]
In our hearts his memory will last [00:02:22]
On the radio said [00:02:26]
There was another shot dead[00:02:28]
And he died with a gun in his hand [00:02:30]
But they never say[00:02:34]
Why Billy Reid had to die[00:02:35]
For he died to free Ireland [00:02:38]
On the radio said [00:02:42]
There was another shot dead[00:02:44]
And he died with a gun in his hand [00:02:46]
But they never say[00:02:50]
Why Billy Reid had to die[00:02:51]
For he died to free Ireland[00:02:54]
