Wolfe Tones - Long Kesh lyrics

Long Kesh There's(G) a place just(C) outside(G) Lisburn It's a place that's(D) known to(G) few Where a(C) group of(D) Irish re(G)bels Are(C) held by(D) Faulkner's(G) crew They are forced to(D) live in(G) cages Like the inmates(D) of Belle(G)vue But the sperit of(D) 19(G)16 Will always(D) see them(G) through The men in this vile place They come from far and near Some from the Derry Bogside And Omagh town so near And some of them from Belfast From the markets and the Falls From the narrow streets of Ardoyne And all around Tyrone On that black day in August When Faulkner showed his hand He thought that by internment He could break our gallant band But the boys from Ballymurphy How they showed the way that night How they thaught those English soldiers How Irish men could fight Long Kesh it's known to everyone The system must be broke Ardoyne the New Lodge and the Falls Will see the system choke No more the special powers act The means will envoke And Long Kesh will be the U stone Of which the system's broke A word now Irish people No matter where you are Remember our brave rebels In Long Kesh this year And by civil disobeience Or any other way We'll make a stand until the day Each one of them are free
