Irish Boy
You were just an Irish boy, you've never been free.
There were always a lot of soldiers who made you see
England is the one who rules over Belfast.
Oh why, peace will come too late for you?
You're just another victim of this fight,
Which keeps Ireland in this big bloody night.
For a free Ireland many have fought.
Civilians dying every day, for whom,
Just like you Irish boy, it is too late.
A sudden end has become your fate.
You're just another victim of this fight,
Which keeps Ireland in this big bloody night.
Irish boy (6x)
Do you hear the blazing guns, the killing goes on.
So for the ones who are left behind,
There's a lot to be done
Irish boy (6x)
England and the I.R.A. are still talking today.
If they will find something to gain,
You didn't die in vain.
Irish boy (6x)
