Derek Warfield - The Men Behind The Wire lyrics

rate me

Refrain:

Armoured cars and tanks and guns

Came to take away our sons

But every man will stand behind

The Men Behind the Wire

Through the little streets of Belfast

In the dark of early morn

British soldiers came marauding

Wrecking little homes with scorn.

Heedless of the crying children

Dragging fathers from their beds

Beating sons while helpless mothers

Watched the blood flow from their heads

Refrain

Not for them a judge or jury

Or indeed a crime at all

Being Irish means they're guilty

So we're guilty one and all

Round the world the truth will echo

CromweIl's men are here again

England's name again is sullied

In the eyes of honest men

Refrain

Proudly march behind our banners

Firmly stand behind our men

We will have them free to help us

Build a Nation once again

On the people stand together

Proudly firmly on your way

Never fear, and never falter

Till the boys are home to stay

Refrain<br />

<br />
