the davitts - joe mcdonnell كلمات أغنية

oh, my name is joe mcdonnell, from belfast town i came
a city i will never see again
for it’s in the town of belfast, i spent many happy days
i loved that town in oh, so many ways
for it’s there i spent my boyhood, and found for me a wife
i then set out to make for her a life
oh, but all my young ambitions met with bitterness and hate
i soon found myself inside a prison gate

through those many months interment, on the maidstone and longkesh
i thought about my land throughout those days
why my country was divided, why i was now in jail
imprisoned without crime or without trial
and though i love my country, i’m not a bitter man
i’ve seen cruelty and injustice at first hand
and so then one fateful morning, i shook bold freedom’s hand
for right or wrong, i tried to free my land

[chorus]
and you dare to call me a terrorist, as you look down your gun
when i think of all the deeds that you had done
you have plundered many nations, divided many lands
you have terrorised their peoples, you ruled with an iron hand
and you brought this reign of terror to my land
and one cold october morning, trapped in the lions’ den
i found myself in prison once again
i was committed to the h_blocks for fourteen years or more
on the blanket, the conditions, they were poor
then a hunger strike we did commence, for the dignity of man
but it seemed to me that no one gave a d_mn
and so now i am a saddened man, i’d seen my comrades die
if only people cared or wondered why

may god shine on you, bobby sands, for the courage you have shown
may your glory and your fame be widely known
aye, and francis hughes, and ray mccreesh, who died unselfishly
and patsy o’hara; and the next in line is me
and those who lie behind me, may your courage be the same
and i pray to god, our lives is not in vain

ah, but sad and bitter was the year of nineteen eighty_one
when everything i’ve lost, and nothing’s won
and you dare to call me a terrorist, as you look down your gun
when i think of all the deeds that you had done
you have plundered many nations, divided many lands
you have terrorised their peoples, you ruled with an iron hand
and you brought this reign of terror to my land
