Irish Song Lyrics 
from www.traditionalmusic.co.uk 
Tom Williams 
Time goes by and years roll onward still in memory fresh I keep of a night in Belfast prison unashamed I saw men weep 
As the time was fast approaching a man lay sentenced for to die and on the second of September he goes to meet his God on high 
Now he's marching towards scaffold head erect he shows no fear and while standing on that scaffold Ireland cross he holds so dear 
Now the cruel blow has fallen for Ireland he has given all He who in the flower of manhood proudly answered to her call 
Brave Tom Williams we salute you and we never shall forget those who planned your brutal murder we vow we'll make them all regret 
So I say to Irish soldiers if on Toms path you shall stray just keep memory of that morn when Ireland's cross was proudly borne by a man who lies within a prison grave
