Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
REPUBLICAN GUNS P.Meheny 
I grew up as a child wondering what it'd be like to be free And I would dream of how proud they felt back in "16" Still remember the fright when the UDA came in the middle of the night right then I knew that I was destined to throw every brick that I threw 
CHORUS If you listen you can hear....the sound of the drums But as long as they're here...you'll hear Republican Guns 
v2 How many years, must the English bathe in Irish tears How many must die, as the coffins pass the mothers cry The day will come, when the children never hear the sound of a drum The day will come, when the children never fear the sound of a gun 
CHORUS 
v3 Was it your son, among the strikers who died back in "81" And how would you feel, if it was your father that the soldiers had killed If it was, you would gladly give your life to the cause With your last breath you'd shout PEACE WILL NEVER COME UNTILL THE ENGLISH ARE OUT 
CHORUS Author:Patrick Meheny
