[00:00:00] O me name is Joe Mcdonnell

[00:00:04] From bel fast town I came

[00:00:09] That city I will

[00:00:11] Never see again

[00:00:17] For in the town of bel fast

[00:00:21] I spent many happy days

[00:00:26] I love that town in oh so many ways

[00:00:35] For it's there I spent my childhood

[00:00:39] And found for me a wife

[00:00:44] I then set out to make

[00:00:48] For her a life

[00:00:53] But all my young ambitions

[00:00:57] Met with bitterness and hate

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

[00:01:10] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:01:15] While you looked down your gun

[00:01:19] When I think of all the deeds

[00:01:23] That you had done

[00:01:28] You had plundered many nations

[00:01:33] Divided many lands

[00:01:37] You had terrorized their peoples

[00:01:41] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:01:46] And you brought

[00:01:48] This reign of terror to my land

[00:01:55] Through those many months internment

[00:01:59] In the maid stone and the maze

[00:02:04] I thought about my land

[00:02:08] Throughout those days

[00:02:12] Why my country was divided

[00:02:17] Why I was now in jail

[00:02:22] Imprisoned without crime or without trial

[00:02:30] And though I love my country

[00:02:35] I'm not a bitter man

[00:02:39] I've seen cruelty

[00:02:41] And injustice at first hand

[00:02:48] So then one fateful morning

[00:02:53] I shook bold freedom's hand

[00:02:57] For right or wrong

[00:03:00] I'd try to free my land

[00:03:06] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:03:10] While you looked down your gun

[00:03:15] When I think of all the deeds

[00:03:19] That you had done

[00:03:24] You had plundered many nations

[00:03:28] Divided many lands

[00:03:33] You had terrorized their peoples

[00:03:37] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:03:41] And you brought

[00:03:43] This reign of terror to my land

[00:03:50] Then one cold October morning

[00:03:55] Trapped in a lion's den

[00:04:00] I found myself in prison once again

[00:04:08] I was committed to the h blocks

[00:04:13] For fourteen years or more

[00:04:17] On the blanket the conditions they were poor

[00:04:26] Then a hunger strike

[00:04:28] We did commence for the dignity of man

[00:04:35] But it seemed to me

[00:04:37] That no one gave a d**n

[00:04:45] But now I'm a saddened man

[00:04:48] I've watched my comrades die

[00:04:53] If only people cared or wondered why

[00:05:01] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:05:06] While you looked down your gun

[00:05:11] When I think of all the deeds

[00:05:14] That you had done

[00:05:19] You had plundered many nations

[00:05:24] Divided many lands

[00:05:28] You had terrorized their peoples

[00:05:32] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:05:37] And you brought

[00:05:39] This reign of terror to my land

[00:05:46] May God shine on you bobby sands

[00:05:51] For the courage you have shown

[00:05:55] May your glory

[00:05:57] And your fame be widely known

[00:06:04] And Francis Hughes

[00:06:06] And ray screenwash who died unselfishly

[00:06:13] And patsy o hare

[00:06:15] And the next in line is me

[00:06:22] And those who lie behind me

[00:06:26] May you're courage be the same

[00:06:30] And I pray to God

[00:06:33] My life is not in vain

[00:06:39] Ah but sad

[00:06:41] And bitter was the year of 1981

[00:06:48] For everything I've lost and nothing's won
