paulco@eicon.com Lyr Req: The Ballad of Billy Reid (3) Ballad of Billy Reed 22 Oct 97

I'm looking for the lyrics to a song that I think is called The Ballad of Billy Reed (Read, Reade, Reede?). It's an Irish Republican Rebel song. The lyrics I do know are:

And the radio said there was another shot dead. And he died with a gun in his hand. But they never said why Billy Reed had to die, For he died to free Ireland.

If any one could supply the full lyric or let me know where else I might find them I'd appreciate it.

PC.
