Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

i was on the front line of the march down on william street
\ncrowd a cheering, some stones were thrown but otherwise at peace
\ngas was fired by th army, the marchers sprayed with dye
\nsomeone shouted saracens are coming on rossville street they road<\/p>\n

a hall of shots rang out, crowd taken unawares
\nthere were people lying, creeping, running, screaming everywhere
\nbullets coming from all directions, under fire when we moved our heads
\nthough we approaced the soldiers with our hands up in the air<\/p>\n

now the ropes slip gently \/neath your back
\nlowered to a peace that you have gained
\namong the living dressed in black
\ni’m left standing over, standing over your grave<\/p>\n

running by the rubble barricades just past glenfada park
\ni was dragged out by my hair on the ground, crawling to your side<\/p>\n

a man took his coat off, put it under your sweet head
\nfather daly whispered last rites, but you were gone
\nhigh up on a hill of creegan derry mourned the fall
\nwhen i pray to god i ask him what’s the meaning of it all<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
