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

Read the roll of honour for Ireland’s bravest men
\nWe must be united in memory of the ten
\nEngland you’re a monster, don’t think that you have won
\nWe will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons<\/p>\n

In those dreary H-Block cages ten brave young Irishmen lay
\nHungering for justice while their young lives ebbed away
\nFor their rights as Irish soldiers and to free their native land
\nThey stood beside their leader the gallant Bobby Sands<\/p>\n

Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy, Ray McCreish in Armagh’s hill
\nIn those narrow streets of Derry they miss O’Hara still,
\nThey so proudly gave their young lives to break Britannia’s hold
\nTheir names shall be remembered as history unfolds<\/p>\n

Chorus<\/p>\n

Through the war torn streets of Ulster the black flags did sadly wave
\nTo salute ten Irish martyrs, the bravest of the brave
\nJoe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty
\nThey gave their lives for freedom with Thomas McElwee<\/p>\n

Michael Devine from Derry you were the last to die
\nWith your nine brave companions, with the martyred dead you lie
\nYour souls cry out “Remember, our deaths are not in vain
\nFight on and make our homeland a nation once again”<\/p>\n
