Our Man in Europe/dave delacroix/The Sundowners, Nos. 15: BOBBY SANDS & the HHHHH BLOCK!"


...Said we would die; we knew?
Said, for the sins of our fathers
we'd hang from a tree, the tree
under which
we shared
Love's first kiss?

...Said we go down...to Caven Town
in a blaze of glory? And, said: we'd sit
with Mama and a pint of Black?

...Said it was Always, the Fife
and the Drum and SWORE
it was always a tear?

And BANG the drum slowly
and whisper: "Sweet Kate";
And be glad
...of year after year.

Said we would DIE, we knew?
-for the Heroics
of our fathers!

Bang the drum slowly
and don't raise a frown;
I'm marching thru Cavern Town.

And play the PIPES
U handsome boys and girls
and sing of Bobby Sands;
a Patriot
A Patriot!
A true blood of the Land.
