Ballad of Bobby Sands lyrics

[Verse 1]
Now Irishmen Remember well
Our heroes who in battle fell
And those who've died in the prison cell
Like Bobby Sands from Belfast

[Verse 2]
An Irish soldier to the last
A criminal he would not be classed
And so began the long death-fast
Of Bobby Sands from Belfast

[Chorus]
So proud Brittannia hide your face
Throughout the world you are disgraced
How many more must take the place
Of Bobby Sands from Belfast

[Verse 3]
The gallant Hughes from Derry's hills
He fought till death the tyrant's will
O'Hara and McCreesh you killed
Like Bobby Sands from Belfast

[Verse 4]
And the world will never understand
Why you deny their just demands
A lingering death was your heartless plan
For those like Sands from Belfast
[Verse 5]
Now Brittannia all the world must know
How England treats a helpless foe
Your British justice it is laid low
Like Bobby Sands from Belfast

[Chorus]
So proud Brittannia hide your face
Throughout the world you are disgraced
How many more must take the place
Of Bobby Sands from Belfast
