The Ballad of Bobby Sands


This old vhs tape that i recently found This is the best tribute to the late Bobby Sands that is on youtube it was written by Jimmy Fontaine from Manchester England who is no longer with us if there is a band out there who can put a bit of music to it and repost that would be great the first few are missing from the video but think i know them so i`ll paste them here

paddyminceir - Youtube
The tears of a nation can be heard on the breeze,
people are praying there down on their knees.
It`s all they can do his life not in their hands,
they can just cry and pray for young Bobby Sands.

He came a great distance for to tell them why,
he had a reason for living and a reason to die.
And they said that they would`nt meet his demands,
and then turned their backs on young Bobby Sands.

All the long hungry days, and the dark weary nights,
he spent in a blanket for human rights.
Politicians and leaders of other great lands,
would not lift a finger for to help Bobby Sands.

Oh but now it is over and Ireland awaits,
as they carried his coffin through the maze gates
He`s buried in Milltown where his tombstone it stands
god bless him forever young Bobby Sands.

All the long hungry days and the dark weary nights
he spent in a blanket for human rights.
Politicians and leaders of other great Lands,
would`nt lift a bloody finger for to help Bobby Sands.

Oh but now it is over and Ireland awaits ,
as they carried his coffin through the maze gates
He died for a cause no one else understands`
he died for freedom young Bobby Sands

All the long hungry days and the dark weary nights,
he spent in a blanket for human rights.
Politicians and leaders of other great lands,
would`nt lift a bloody finger for to help Bobby Sands.

God bless him forever young Bobby Sands
