Sunday Bloody Sunday lyrics

Well it was sunday

bloody sunday

When they shot the people there

The crys of thirteen marty martyrs

Filled the free derry air.

Is there any one among you

Dare to blame it on the kids?

Not a soldier boy was

bleeding

When they nailed the

coffin lidds!

Sunday bloody sunday

Bloody sunday's the day!

You claim to be majority

Well you know that it's a lie

You're really a minority

Oh this sweet emerald asle.

When Stormont bans

our marchers

They've got a lot to learn

Internment is no answer

It's those mother's turn

to burn!

Sunday bloody sunday

Bloody sunday's the day!

You anglo pigs and scotties

Sent to colonize the north

You wave your bloody

Union Jacks

And you know what it's worth!

How dare you hold on to ransom

A people proud and free

Keep ireland for the irish

Put the english back to sea!

Sunday bloody sunday

Bloody sunday's the day!

Yes it's always bloody sunday

In the concentration camps

Keep Falls and roads free forever

From the bloody english hands

Repatriate to britain

All of you who call it home

Leave ireland to the irish

Not for London or for Rome!

Sunday bloody sunday

Bloody sunday's the day!
