THE FIGHT FOR SPAIN
G D7 G D7 G
Chorus The fight for Spain has just begun my boys
D7 G
The fight for Spain has just begun
C G
They're marching to war fae all the country oer
D7 G
And the fight for Spain has just begun
G C G
1. They are marching from the factories from farmlands and the mines
D7
They're marching fae the shipyards on the Clyde
G C G
To Madrid and Barcelona to right the wrongs of Spain
D7 G
And to fight with her people side by side
2. From the city streets of Glasgow, Aberdeen and fae Dundee
From the villages of Blantyre and Newmains
They will fight to hold to their beliefs with comrades by their sides
And some will lie upon the fields of Spain
3. They left their homes and families and marched away to war
A choice was made by every man and boy
Politicians did not call on them while they stayed safe at home
And each one of them was quite prepared to die
4. From the valley of Jarama to the mountains high and cold
To battle scarred Belchites ruined walls
The Scottish Brigaders fought bravely for their cause
Salute Camerada was their call
Words and Music Billy Stewart ( Garriongill Music )
