《Joe MC Donnell》歌词

[00:00:00] Joe MC Donnell - The Wolfe Tones

[00:00:13] Oh my name is Joe McDonnell

[00:00:18] From Belfast town I came

[00:00:21] That city I will never see again

[00:00:29] For in the town of Belfast

[00:00:33] I spent many happy days

[00:00:38] And I loved that town in oh so many ways

[00:00:46] For it's there I spent my childhood

[00:00:50] And found for me a wife

[00:00:54] I then set out to make for her a life

[00:01:02] But all my young ambitions

[00:01:06] Met with bitterness and hate

[00:01:10] I soon found myself inside a prison gate

[00:01:18] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:01:22] While you look down your gun

[00:01:26] When I think of all the deeds that you have done

[00:01:34] You have plundered many nations

[00:01:38] Divided many lands

[00:01:42] You have terrorized their people

[00:01:46] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:01:50] And you brought this reign of terror to my land

[00:01:58] Through those many months internment

[00:02:02] In the Maidstone and the Maze

[00:02:07] I thought about my land throughout those days

[00:02:15] Why my country was divided

[00:02:19] Why I was now in jail

[00:02:23] Imprisoned without crime or without trial

[00:02:31] And though I love my country

[00:02:35] I am not a bitter man

[00:02:39] I've seen cruelty and injustice at first hand

[00:02:47] So dad what faithful morning

[00:02:51] I shook bold freedom's hand

[00:02:55] For right or wrong I'd try to free my land

[00:03:04] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:03:08] While you look down your gun

[00:03:12] When I think of all the deeds that you have done

[00:03:20] You have plundered many nations

[00:03:24] Divided many lands

[00:03:28] You have terrorized their peoples

[00:03:32] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:03:36] And you brought this reign of terror to my land

[00:03:44] Then one cold October's morning

[00:03:49] Trapped in the lion's den

[00:03:53] I found myself in prison once again

[00:04:01] I was committed to the H Blocks

[00:04:05] For fourteen years or more

[00:04:09] On the blanket the conditions they were poor

[00:04:17] Then a hunger strike we did commence

[00:04:21] For the dignity of man

[00:04:25] But it seemed to me that no one gave a d**n

[00:04:33] But now I am a saddened man

[00:04:37] I've watched my comrades die

[00:04:41] If only people cared or wondered why

[00:04:50] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:04:54] While you look down your gun

[00:04:58] When I think of all the deeds that you have done

[00:05:06] You have plundered many nations

[00:05:10] Divided many lands

[00:05:14] You have terrorized their peoples

[00:05:18] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:05:21] And you brought this reign of terror to my land

[00:05:30] May god shine on you Bobby Sands

[00:05:35] For the courage you have shown

[00:05:38] May your glory and your fame be widely known

[00:05:46] And Francis Hughes and Ray McCreesh

[00:05:51] Who died unselfishly

[00:05:55] And Patsy O'Hara and the next in line is me

[00:06:03] And those who lie behind me

[00:06:07] May your courage be the same

[00:06:11] And I pray to god my life was not in vain

[00:06:19] All what sad and bitter was the year of nineteen eighty one

[00:06:28] And everything I'd lost and nothings won
