Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
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) 
To say it was an accident Was the greatest crim of all To his heart broken 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) (BREAK) 
Aidens life has ended It was time for judgement day A soldier jumped out from a tower And the coward he sniped away Gods 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 X 2)
