[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day,
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day.
[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day,
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day.
[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day,
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day.
[Verse]
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,
[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day,
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day.
[Verse]
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.
[Chorus]
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day,
Sunday, Bloody Sunday,
Bloody Sunday was the day.
