08 Dec 98 - 08:06 PM (#48610) Subject: Lyr Add: BLOODY SUNDAY From: Brack& I think this is near enough. BLOODY SUNDAY We demand civil rights all the marchers did say Five thousand people assembled that day From Free Derry Corner set off with a cheer The march it was peaceful, we'd nothing to fear But the parachute regiment came down our street Five hundred men all over six feet They came with machine guns and big slr's??? Rolling down William Street in their Saracen cars At the Free Derry Corner the slaughter began Some people fell and some people ran Our civil rights banner was stained bloody red At the barricades there they shot three people dead As the wounded lay bleeding a doctor is called And the firing continues and another two fall The harvest they reaped with their bullets of lead Bloody Sunday in Derry and thirteen shot dead And the order it came from Whitehall you know Open fire kill a few, draw them out, have a go We all knew it then and the world knows today Thirteen innocent men with their lives had to pay And the tribunal mockery was soon carried out Just doing their duty of that there's no doubt On England's cold history a crime lingers yet How can we forgive them, how can we forget Regards Mick Bracken |

I just heard Eileen Cullen Webster sing it at a Bloody Sunday commemoration in Derry last night. The Hot Ash recording can be heard on a few channels on youtube, including https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-uBuipj6z8 A published version of the words (Harrowing of the Heart - The Poetry of Bloody Sunday,Guildhall Press 2008) names the Widgery Tribunal in the first line of the last verse. |
