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

Oh my name is Joe McDonnell[00:00:13]

From Belfast town I came[00:00:18]

That city I will never see again[00:00:21]

For in the town of Belfast[00:00:29]

I spent many happy days[00:00:33]

And I loved that town in oh so many ways[00:00:38]

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[00:00:54]

But all my young ambitions[00:01:02]

Met with bitterness and hate[00:01:06]

I soon found myself inside a prison gate[00:01:10]

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:01:18]

While you look down your gun[00:01:22]

When I think of all the deeds that you have done[00:01:26]

You have plundered many nations[00:01:34]

Divided many lands[00:01:38]

You have terrorized their people[00:01:42]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:01:46]

And you brought this reign of terror to my land[00:01:50]

Through those many months internment[00:01:58]

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

I thought about my land throughout those days[00:02:07]

Why my country was divided[00:02:15]

Why I was now in jail[00:02:19]

Imprisoned without crime or without trial[00:02:23]

And though I love my country[00:02:31]

I am not a bitter man[00:02:35]

I've seen cruelty and injustice at first hand[00:02:39]

So dad what faithful morning[00:02:47]

I shook bold freedom's hand[00:02:51]

For right or wrong I'd try to free my land[00:02:55]

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:03:04]

While you look down your gun[00:03:08]

When I think of all the deeds that you have done[00:03:12]

You have plundered many nations[00:03:20]

Divided many lands[00:03:24]

You have terrorized their peoples[00:03:28]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:03:32]

And you brought this reign of terror to my land[00:03:36]

Then one cold October's morning[00:03:44]

Trapped in the lion's den[00:03:49]

I found myself in prison once again[00:03:53]

I was committed to the H Blocks[00:04:01]

For fourteen years or more[00:04:05]

On the blanket the conditions they were poor[00:04:09]

Then a hunger strike we did commence[00:04:17]

For the dignity of man[00:04:21]

But it seemed to me that no one gave a d**n[00:04:25]

But now I am a saddened man[00:04:33]

I've watched my comrades die[00:04:37]

If only people cared or wondered why[00:04:41]

And you dare to call me a terrorist[00:04:50]

While you look down your gun[00:04:54]

When I think of all the deeds that you have done[00:04:58]

You have plundered many nations[00:05:06]

Divided many lands[00:05:10]

You have terrorized their peoples[00:05:14]

You ruled with an iron hand[00:05:18]

And you brought this reign of terror to my land[00:05:21]

May god shine on you Bobby Sands[00:05:30]

For the courage you have shown[00:05:35]

May your glory and your fame be widely known[00:05:38]

And Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh[00:05:46]

Who died unselfishly[00:05:51]

And Patsy O'Hara and the next in line is me[00:05:55]

And those who lie behind me[00:06:03]

May your courage be the same[00:06:07]

And I pray to god my life was not in vain[00:06:11]

All what sad and bitter was the year of nineteen eighty one[00:06:19]

And everything I'd lost and nothings won[00:06:28]
