《The Ballad of Billy Reid》歌词

[00:00:00] The Ballad Of Billy Reid - Patsy Watchorn

[00:00:04] I'll sing you a song of a terrible wrong

[00:00:08] When the flags all flew at half mast

[00:00:12] And a man he lay dead

[00:00:14] He'd been riddled with lead

[00:00:16] And he died on the streets of Belfast

[00:00:20] The radio said

[00:00:22] There was another shot dead

[00:00:24] And he died with a gun in his hand

[00:00:27] But they never say

[00:00:29] Why Billy Reid had to die

[00:00:31] For he died to free Ireland

[00:00:35] It happened one day when the bold I R A

[00:00:39] Went out to fight for their land

[00:00:43] With an old Thompson gun

[00:00:45] Put the troops on the run

[00:00:47] And return to their homes was their plan

[00:00:51] The radio said

[00:00:53] There was another shot dead

[00:00:55] And he died with a gun in his hand

[00:00:59] But they never say

[00:01:00] Why Billy Reid had to die

[00:01:03] For he died to free Ireland

[00:01:07] While returning the guns

[00:01:09] Billy met British huns

[00:01:11] When the fight had begun

[00:01:15] His position was dire

[00:01:17] When his gun wouldn't fire

[00:01:19] So he died with that old Thopson gun

[00:01:23] On the radio said

[00:01:25] There was another shot dead

[00:01:27] And he died with a gun in his hand

[00:01:31] But they never say

[00:01:32] Why Billy Reid had to die

[00:01:35] For he died to free Ireland

[00:01:39] Although he lay dead

[00:01:41] He was kicked in the head

[00:01:43] By the hair they dragged him around

[00:01:46] But they still fear him yet

[00:01:48] And we can never forget

[00:01:51] How brave Billy Reid stood his ground

[00:01:54] On the radio said

[00:01:56] There was another shot dead

[00:01:59] And he died with a gun in his hand

[00:02:02] But they never say

[00:02:04] Why Billy Reid had to die

[00:02:06] For he died to free Ireland

[00:02:10] If you think he was right

[00:02:12] Come and join in the fight

[00:02:14] And help to free Belfast

[00:02:18] For the blood that he shed

[00:02:20] And although he lies dead

[00:02:22] In our hearts his memory will last

[00:02:26] On the radio said

[00:02:28] There was another shot dead

[00:02:30] And he died with a gun in his hand

[00:02:34] But they never say

[00:02:35] Why Billy Reid had to die

[00:02:38] For he died to free Ireland

[00:02:42] On the radio said

[00:02:44] There was another shot dead

[00:02:46] And he died with a gun in his hand

[00:02:50] But they never say

[00:02:51] Why Billy Reid had to die

[00:02:54] For he died to free Ireland
