| Aiden McAnespie |
It was on a Sunday Evening The sun shone in the sky As he walked on his way to the Gaelic ground Never thinking he was going to die As he crossed the checkpoint The sound of gunfire came As the news spread through the borders Aiden McAnespie was slain (CHORUS) Oh why did you do it Have you not the guts to say You say it was an accident Or even a a richochet But like Rockall or Gibralter Your lies are well renowned You murdered Aiden McAnespie On his way to the football Ground. For years he was harrased By the forces of the Crown As he went to work each morning Out from his native town The soldiers swore they'd get him For reasons no one could say And sure enough the murdered him In cold blood that sunny day (CHORUS) Oh why did you do it Have you not the guts to say You say it was an accident Or even a richochet But like Rockall or Gibralter Your lies are well renowned You murdered Aiden McAnespie On his way to the football Ground. To say it was an accident Was the greatest crime of all To his heartbroken family Was the worst that can befall A cross that marks that lonely spot Where Aiden he was shot down As he walked that Sunday evening On his way to the gaelic ground (CHORUS) Oh why did you do it Have you not the guts to say You say it was an accident Or even a richochet But like Rockall or Gibralter Your lies are well renowned You murdered Aiden McAnespie On his way to the football Ground. (BREAK) Aiden's life has ended It was time for judgement day A soldier jumped out from a tower And the coward he sniped away God's curse on you England For this cruelty that you have done But God will have the final say When your day of judgement comes (CHORUS) Oh why did you do it Have you not the guts to say You say it was an accident Or even a richochet But like Rockall or Gibralter Your lies are well renowned You murdered Aiden McAnespie On his way to the football Ground. (CHORUS) Oh why did you do it Have you not the guts to say You say it was an accident Or even a richochet But like Rockall or Gibralter Your lies are well renowned You murdered Aiden McAnespie On his way to the football Ground. **** |
