"Sunday Bloody Sunday" lyrics

Well, it was Sunday, Bloody Sunday
When they shot the people there
The cries of fourteen martyrs
Filled the brave Derry air
They tried to blame the Provos
You must blame it on the Brits
Not a soldier boy was bleeding
When they nailed the coffin lids

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day

Was Sunday, Bloody Sunday
When the Paras, they went wild
They were shooting indiscriminately
At man, woman and child
Father Daly waved his hankie
He tried to anoint the dead
But the soldiers kept on firing
Kept on shooting evil lead

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day

You say you are a majority
But you know that's a lie
You're really a minority
In this, the Emerald Isle
Did you care about majorities
In Fermanagh and Tyrone?
You took them from the people
And kept them for the crown

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day

You English Brits and Scotties
Sent to the colonise the North
You wave your bloody Union Jack
For all that it's worth
You're living here in Ireland
Sure, Ireland is your home
It's Ireland for the Irish
Not for London or for Rome

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day

You governments of Great Britain
You should apologise
For the way you treated Ireland
For your cover-up and lies
Your invasions, wars and famines
Killed millions in the land
When a peaceful, united country
Is all that we demand

Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day
Sunday, Bloody Sunday
Bloody Sunday was the day
