[Verse]
They flew out of Belfast, with an ambitious plan,
To continue the struggle to free Ireland,
Mairéad Farrell, Seán Savage and Daniel McCann,
But they died on the streets of Gibraltar.

Hidden eyes had been watching, they'd followed each one,
They knew they weren't armed, that none had a gun,
"We'll give them no warning or no chance to run,
For all three must die on Gibraltar."

[Chorus]
And sad are three homes in Belfast now,
All Ireland shares their sorrow,
As they walked in the sun, hidden Brits drew their guns,
And their blood stained the streets of Gibraltar.

[Verse]
The SAS stood there so proud of their deed,
Three more freedom fighters lay dead in the street,
Like the eight Loughgall martyrs in ambush did meet,
But our three far away in Gibraltar.

[Chorus]
And sad are three homes in Belfast now,
All Ireland shares their sorrow,
As they walked in the sun, hidden Brits drew their guns,
And their blood stained the streets of Gibraltar.

[Verse]
Mairéad while in prison we watched you with pride,
True to all you believed in and for this you've died,
With two fine volunteers, Dan and Seán at your side,
A part of us died in Gibraltar.

[Chorus]
And sad are three homes in Belfast now,
All Ireland shares their sorrow,
As they walked in the sun, hidden Brits drew their guns,
And their blood stained the streets of Gibraltar.

[Verse]
It happens each time that a volunteer dies,
They screen off the truth with a cover of lies,
But we know what happened on that warm, misty night,
They planned the three deaths of Gibraltar.

[Chorus]
And sad are three homes in Belfast now,
All Ireland shares their sorrow,
As they walked in the sun, hidden Brits drew their guns,
And their blood stained the streets of Gibraltar,
And their blood stained the streets of Gibraltar.
