What are they?
Charlotte
I hope the song doesn't quite match its title...
Werewolf
Worry not Charlotte, 'tis not their song but one of ours.

LONDON'S DERRY
(McHenry)

Chorus:
Come on out ye British Huns come on out without your guns
Show us how you won your medals up in Derry
When you murdered thirteen men and you'd do the same again
Get on out of here and take your English Border

In the summer '69 with your smiling face you came
To show us all your pacifying tactics
But your true face soon came through and your flag red, white and blue
Showed us all the Black and Tans were back in Ireland

Chorus

Of your fist we've had our fill and we know you always will
For excuses for the murdering of Irish men
But we'll fight for a proud land till in unity we stand
And from England we'll shift our lovely island

Chorus

Sure at your trial at Coleraine sure we knew you weren't to blame
And likewise neither were the Huns of Hitler
But don't you fret for those you slew for your judge was British too
And we all know the English are impartial

Chorus

(Needless to say, the tune is the same as in "Black and Tans"
Chucky Armagh
Just a point of order.

They murdered 14 men in Derry, the bastards !
Charlotte
ok Werewolf.
New song to be added to my collection
Irelands_Son
they did murder 14 but only 13 died that day
WeeIrishDevil
now now my pets lmao 13 or 14 ... the point is that they were killed. Technically speaking there was loads of people that did die after that within months due to injuries. There was loads more that had been injured but most don't even recognize that fact. One day maybe I'll post their names and what complications they died of after having been shot that day or anything that injured them. Just as the women kind of get overlooked when they too were a part of the hunger strike. For some reason only certain people are remembered for those fateful days Guess when it is members of your own family you tend to not forget so easily
Patrick
kind of like the DaVinci code?
