  • Roll of Honour by Wolfe Tones, in my opinion the best version, sorry for some trascription's mistakes.
    Lyrics:
    Chorus:
    Read the roll of honour for Ireland's bravest men
    We must be united in memory of the ten,
    England you're a monster, don't think that you have won
    We will never be defeated while Ireland has such sons.
    The dreary H-Block cages ten brave young Irishmen lay
    Hungering for justice as their young lives ebbed away,
    For their rights of Irish soldiers and to free their native land
    They stood beside their leader - the gallant Bobby Sands.
    Chorus
    Now they mourn Hughes in Bellaghy, Ray McCreesh in Armagh's hills
    In the narrow streets of Derry they miss O'Hara still,
    They so proudly gave their young lives to break Britannia's hold
    Their names will be remembered as history unfolds.
    Through the war torn streets of Ulster the black flags did sadly sway
    To salute ten Irish martyrs the bravest of the brave,
    Joe McDonnell, Martin Hurson, Kevin Lynch, Kieran Doherty
    They gave their lives for freedom with Thomas McElwee.
    Chorus
    Michael Devine from Derry you were the last to die
    With your nine brave companions with the martyred dead you lie
    Your souls cry out "Remember, our deaths were not in vain.
    Fight on and make our homeland a nation once again !"
    Chorus
