[Verse]
A young man, was shot on the Falls Road today,
The bulletin came through to hide the truth away,
For different stories to cover the lie,
A cold blooded murder, caused Pearce Jordan to die.

[Chorus]
Slán go fóill, mo chara, just for a while,
We'll not, have the craic, your jokes and your smile,
But in years to come, your memory's still true,
A brave son of Ireland, we will not forget you.

[Verse]
As you travelled the Falls Road early that night,
The police, they were watching, they kept you in sight,
They rammed your car from every side,
As you staggered away, you were shot and you died.

[Chorus]
Slán go fóill, mo chara, just for a while,
We'll not, have the craic, your jokes and your smile,
But in years to come, your memory's still true,
A brave son of Ireland, we will not forget you.

[Verse]
Your killer that night, you did not even see,
Shot in the back, by the RUC,
They wont be punished, no justice they'll meet,
For shooting Pearse Jordan, unarmed in the street.

[Chorus]
Slán go fóill, mo chara, just for a while,
We'll not, have the craic, your jokes and your smile,
But in years to come, your memory's still true,
A brave son of Ireland, we will not forget you.

[Verse]
The grief that is felt by, his family is sore,
To know they'll never, see Pearse any more,
No chance to hold him, or tell him goodbye,
But they're proud of their son, and the cause he held high.

[Chorus]
Slán go fóill, mo chara, just for a while,
We'll not, have the craic, your jokes and your smile,
But in years to come, your memory's still true,
Goodbye my dear friend, we will not forget you.
