    Lyrics:
    Farewell to Bellaghy, likewise Tamlaghtduff,
    And the green hills of Derry that I dearly love,
    My thoughts return to you from a dark H-Block cell,
    So friends and brave comrades I bid you farewell.
    For hundreds of years now we've kept on the fight,
    And the history books told me of Ireland's plight,
    So with gallant Francis I followed the cause,
    To conquer the tyrant and defy England's laws.
    Through the hills of south Derry we marched and we drilled,
    To our exploits in action all Irish youth thrilled,
    Most feared men in Ulster, volunteers on the run,
    We give England our answer from the barrels of our guns.
    Oh gallant south Derry you are forever blessed,
    In the struggle for freedom you have given your best,
    There's Hughes and there's Bateson, Sheridan and Leigh,
    And enscribed with their names now brave Tom McElwee.

      ​@@flyingcolm9702 You just committed the tu quoque fallacy which is when a person does not attempt to defend their indefensible position but rather accuses their opponents of hypocrisy in order to justify it.
      The British army personnel who abused their position of power and murdered irish people along with any loyalist paramilitary thugs deserve just as much hatred and contempt as the IRA if not more so in some circumstances.
      This man certainly doesn't deserve to be turned into a martyr in order to score points for a political cause. In fact, his action did nothing but increase bitterness and distrust between both communities and extend the pointless violence for 2 more decades.
