james connolly folk group - brave sons of derry lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
this is a song of the thirteen who died
while marching in derry down to the bogside
those innocent people on a january day
were peacefully showing where there loyalty lay

[chorus]
brave sons of derry, we mourn for you now
brave sons of derry, we’ll avenge you somehow
you’ve been taken away on a terrible day
for peacefully showing where your loyalty lay

[verse 2]
thousands of people were there on the street
unknown to all there was dead there to be
the paras jumped in with their guns to the fore
and they shot to the ground, they were lost evermore

[chorus]
brave sons of derry, we mourn for you now
brave sons of derry, we’ll avenge you somehow
you’ve been taken away on a terrible day
for peacefully showing where your loyalty lay

[verse 3]
unarmed were our men as they fell to the ground
gun smoke was their shroud and gun shots were the sound
that will echo forever in that derry street
till ireland demands [?]
[chorus]
brave sons of derry, we mourn for you now
brave sons of derry, we’ll avenge you somehow
you’ve been taken away on a terrible day
for peacefully showing where your loyalty lay

[verse 4]
all around the world it was spread around
the sorrow in ireland can never be drowned
more determined than ever united we’ll be
and ireland forever as country be free

[chorus]
brave sons of derry, we mourn for you now
brave sons of derry, we’ll avenge you somehow
you’ve been taken away on a terrible day
for peacefully showing where your loyalty lay
