《Joe MC Donnell》歌词

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

[00:00:10] Oh my name is Joe McDonnell

[00:00:15] From Belfast town I came

[00:00:19] That city I will never see again

[00:00:28] For in the town of Belfast

[00:00:32] I spent many happy days

[00:00:37] 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

[00:00:55] I then set out to make for her a life

[00:01:04] But all my young ambitions

[00:01:08] Met with bitterness and hate

[00:01:12] I soon found myself inside a prison gate

[00:01:21] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:01:26] While you look down your gun

[00:01:30] When I think of all the deeds that you have done

[00:01:39] You have plundered many nations

[00:01:44] Divided many lands

[00:01:48] You have terrorized their people

[00:01:52] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:01:56] And you brought this reign of terror to my land

[00:02:06] Through those many months internment

[00:02:10] In the Maidstone and the Maze

[00:02:15] I thought about my land throughout those days

[00:02:23] Why my country was divided

[00:02:28] Why I was now in jail

[00:02:33] Imprisoned without crime or without trial

[00:02:41] And though I love my country

[00:02:46] I am not a bitter man

[00:02:50] I've seen cruelty and injustice at first hand

[00:02:59] So dad what faithful morning

[00:03:04] I shook bold freedom's hand

[00:03:08] For right or wrong I'd try to free my land

[00:03:17] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:03:21] While you look down your gun

[00:03:26] When I think of all the deeds that you have done

[00:03:35] You have plundered many nations

[00:03:39] Divided many lands

[00:03:44] You have terrorized their peoples

[00:03:48] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:03:52] And you brought this reign of terror to my land

[00:04:01] Then one cold October's morning

[00:04:06] Trapped in the lion's den

[00:04:10] I found myself in prison once again

[00:04:19] I was committed to the H Blocks

[00:04:24] For fourteen years or more

[00:04:28] On the blanket the conditions they were poor

[00:04:37] Then a hunger strike we did commence

[00:04:41] For the dignity of man

[00:04:46] But it seemed to me that no one gave a damn

[00:04:55] But now I am a saddened man

[00:04:59] I've watched my comrades die

[00:05:04] If only people cared or wondered why

[00:05:12] And you dare to call me a terrorist

[00:05:17] While you look down your gun

[00:05:21] When I think of all the deeds that you have done

[00:05:30] You have plundered many nations

[00:05:35] Divided many lands

[00:05:39] You have terrorized their peoples

[00:05:43] You ruled with an iron hand

[00:05:48] And you brought this reign of terror to my land

[00:05:57] May god shine on you Bobby Sands

[00:06:02] For the courage you have shown

[00:06:06] May your glory and your fame be widely known

[00:06:15] And francis hughes and Ray McCreesh

[00:06:19] Who died unselfishly

[00:06:24] And Patsy O'Hara and the next in line is me

[00:06:33] And those who lie behind me

[00:06:37] May your courage be the same

[00:06:41] And I pray to god my life was not in vain

[00:06:50] All what sad and bitter was the year of nineteen eighty one

[00:06:59] And everything I'd lost and nothings' what
