lay him away o'er the hillside - bogside volunteers lyrics

[verse 1]
the grey dawn had crept o’er the stillness of morning
the dew drops they glittered with icicle breath
the notes of the bugle sounded their warning
a young irish soldier lay sentenced to death

[chorus]
lay him away o’er the hillside
along with the brave and the bold
inscribe his name on the scroll of fame
in letters of purest gold
my conscience shall never convict me
hе said with his last dying breath
may god bless the truе cause of freedom
for which i am sentenced to death

[verse 2]
no cold*blooded murder had stained my pure conscience
he called as a witness his maker on high
he’d simply been fighting for ireland’s loved freedom
arrested and tried he laid sentenced to die

[chorus]
lay him away o’er the hillside
along with the brave and the bold
inscribe his name on the scroll of fame
in letters of purest gold
my conscience shall never convict me
he said with his last dying breath
may god bless the true cause of freedom
for which i am sentenced to death
[verse 3]
i blame not my comrades for doing their duty
aim straight at my heart, were the last words he said
exposing his breast to the point of the rifles
the smoke cleared away, the young soldier lay dead
