SongtexteThe Ballad Of Mairead Farrell

When Ireland lives i do not die A womans place is no at home The fight for fredom it still goes on I took up my gun until freedoms day I pledged to fight for the I.R.A. In Armagh jail I served my time Strip searches were a British crime Degraded me but they could not see I suffered this to see Ireland free Gibraltar Rock's the place I died McCann and Savage were by my side I heard the order loud and shrill Of Thatchers voice, said SHOOT TO KILL So do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there, I do not sleep Do not stand at my grave and cry When reland lives I do not die When Ireland lives I do not die
