lirik lagu bogside volunteers – owen mcdonagh
come gather round me bonny boys a story i will tell
about the ‘battle of bogside’ i’m sure you know it well
’twas on the 12th of august in the summer of the year
when proudly i enlisted in the bogside volunteers
when proudly i enlisted in the bogside volunteers
i was standing at the corner with mcginley and o’toole
i hadn’t had a job you know since ever i left school
for jobs are scarce in derry town for many a long till year
so i was ripe material for the bogside volunteers
so i was ripe material for the bogside volunteers
well paddy murphy came to us excited i could tell
says he the police have broken through they’re going to give us h*ll
but the boys are building barricades and i’ll tell you what i hear
they’re looking for recruits today in the bogside volunteers
they’re looking for recruits today in the bogside volunteers
when we got to the firing line, the fire was thick and fast
and there we found the volunteers determined to the last
there were none of them ran for shelter and
there was none of them cringed for fear
for here were the boys who feared no noise
the bogside volunteers
for here were the boys who feared no noise
the bogside volunteers
the police were firing tear gas sh*lls they scattered all around
they said they had sufficient men to beat us to the ground
but we replied with petrol bombs and filled their hearts with fear
for they met their match in the derrymen and
the bogside volunteers
for they met their match in the derrymen and
the bogside volunteers
we drove the police before us then like chapping for the wind
the air was thick with stones and bricks and it made an awful din
and every time the police withdrew the boys sent up a cheer
for civil rights and freedom and the bogside volunteers
for civil rights and freedom and the bogside volunteers
well now me story’s ended and me pen i will lay down
but don’t forget the 3 days fight in dear old derry town
and talking of your lancers and your irish fusiliers
just spare a thought for those other lads the bogside volunteers
just spare a thought for those other lads the bogside volunteers
