The Ballad of Billy Reid - Patsy Watchorn
I'll sing you a song of a terrible wrong
When the flags all flew at half mast
And a man he lay dead
He'd been riddled with lead
And he died on the streets of Belfast
The radio said
There was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they never say
Why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland
It happened one day when the bold I R A
Went out to fight for their land
With an old Thompson gun
Put the troops on the run
And return to their homes was their plan
The radio said
There was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they never say
Why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland
While returning the guns
Billy met British huns
When the fight had begun
His position was dire
When his gun wouldn't fire
So he died with that old Thopson gun
On the radio said
There was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they never say
Why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland
Although he lay dead
He was kicked in the head
By the hair they dragged him around
But they still fear him yet
And we can never forget
How brave Billy Reid stood his ground
On the radio said
There was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they never say
Why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland
If you think he was right
Come and join in the fight
And help to free Belfast
For the blood that he shed
And although he lies dead
In our hearts his memory will last
On the radio said
There was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they never say
Why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland
On the radio said
There was another shot dead
And he died with a gun in his hand
But they never say
Why Billy Reid had to die
For he died to free Ireland
