OK, based on the information you all provided, I managed to improve my searching on the web and came up with the following alternatives:

TWENTY-ONE YEARS

The judge said, "Stand up, lad, and dry up your tears.
You're sentenced to prison for 21 years."
So dry up your tears, love, and kiss me goodbye.
The best friends must part, love. So must you and I.

I hear the train coming. She'll be here on time
To take me to Dartmoor to serve out my time.
I looked down the railway and plainly I see
You're standing there waving your goodbye to me.

Six months have gone by, love. I wish I were dead.
This dark dreary dungeon with stones for my bed.
It's raining. It's hailing. The moon gives no light.
Why don't you tell me why you never write?

I've watched and I've waited and longed for the day.
The night times so lonely, my hair's turning grey.
My thoughts are of you, love. I'm out of my mind.
For 21 years, love, is a mighty long time.

====================================

(My love of trad. songs overrides my Irish Republicanism, so I've got to post the following, but it pains me.)

The judge said, "Stand up, boy, and dry up your tears.
You're sentenced to Long Kesh for seven long years.
I know you are loyal to the Queen and the Crown,
But the laws of this country make me send you down."

2. Now this was his story in the courtroom one day
When a young loyal Protestant was taken away,
But the lad stood up proudly, and these words he said:
"I'll be true to Ulster until I am dead.

3. "For these tears you see, judge, are not tears of fear.
They're just tears of sadness for those I hold dear.
I know they'll stand by me, for there will be time.
For I'll be with my comrades. We stand side by side.

4. "So listen, you Rebels, to these words I give:
You'll never take Ulster as long as you live,
For we will destroy you. We're loyal and true,
And the flag over Ulster will be red white and blue."

Thanks to all!
