[Verse]
One early May morning, in Buncrana town,
The news came through, a man was shot down,
They murdered Eddie Fullerton in front of his wife,
For his family and country he gave up his life.

His murders that morning, a loyalist death squad,
With guns from the Brits, who silently applaud,
As Eddie lay dead and he's carried away,
He only sorrow, that morning in May.

[Chorus]
Oh, Eddie, dear Eddie, we bid you farewell,
Your memory lives on, your stories we'll told,
A man of great laughter, oh, we own you this debt,
Your name to remember, we'll never forget.

[Verse]
His love for his people, he rallied their cause,
Would never give in and all was not lost,
The rules and the problems, oh, he fought for the rights,
A Sinn Féin councillor, in trouble and strife.

In thousands they gathered to honour your name,
And show to your killers you'd not die in vain,
In the streets of Buncrana, you home cocoon,
They proudly did carry to the grave on that hill.

[Chorus]
Oh, Eddie, dear Eddie, we bid you farewell,
Your memory lives on, your stories we'll told,
A man of great laughter, oh, we own you this debt,
Your name to remember, we'll never forget.

[Verse]
They came from the afar, from Dublin and Kerry,
Belfast, Tyrone and many from Derry,
To pay their respects to a man bold and brave,
They lay you to rest, alone in your grave.

He lies in the churchyard, brave men by his side,
Mac Lochlainn, O'Hagan, many more have died,
We'll always remember the role you've played,
To see this proud nation united one day.

[Chorus]
Oh, Eddie, dear Eddie, we bid you farewell,
Your memory lives on, your stories we'll told,
A man of great laughter, oh, we own you this debt,
Your name to remember, we'll never forget.

[Chorus]
Oh, Eddie, dear Eddie, we bid you farewell,
Your memory lives on, your stories we'll told,
A man of great laughter, oh, we own you this debt,
Your name to remember, we'll never forget,
Your name to remember, we'll never forget.
