Read the Roll of Honour
For Ireland’s bravest men
We must be united
In memory of the ten
England, you’re a b#stard, b#stard, b#stard!
Don’t think that you have won
We will never be defeated
While Ireland has its sons
In those dreary H-Block cages
Ten brave young Irish men lay
While their young lives edged away
For their rights as Irish soldiers
And to free their native land
He stood beside thеir leader
The gallant Bobby Sands!
So rеad the Roll of Honour
For Ireland’s bravest men
We must be united
In memory of the ten
England, you’re a b#stard, b#stard, b#stard!
Don’t think that you have won
We will never be defeated
While Ireland has its sons!
Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy
Ray McCreesh in Armagh’s hills
In those narrow streets of Derry
We miss O’Hara still
They so proudly their young lives
Or to break Britannia’s hold
Their names will be remembered
As history unfolds!
So read the Roll of Honour
For Ireland’s bravest men
We must be united
In memory of the ten
England, you’re a b#stard, b#stard, b#stard!
Don’t think that you have won
We will never be defeated
While Ireland has its sons!
Through the war torn streets of Ulster
The black flags did sadly wave
To salute ten Irish martyrs
The bravest of the brave
Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty
They gave their lives for freedom
With Thomas McElwee!
So read the Roll of Honour
For Ireland’s bravest men
We must be united
In memory of the ten
England, you’re a b#stard, b#stard, b#stard!
Don’t think that you have won
We will never be defeated
While Ireland has its sons!
Michael Devine from Derry
You were the last to die
With your nine brave companions
A martyred dead you lie
Your soul’s cry out “Remember!
Our deaths were not in vain
So fight on and make our homeland
A nation once again!”
So read the Roll of Honour
For Ireland’s bravest men
We must be united
In memory of the ten
England, you’re a b#stard, b#stard, b#stard!
Don’t think that you have won
We will never be defeated
While Ireland has its sons!
Oh, we’ll never be defeated
While Ireland has its sons!
