WOLFE TONES lyrics : "The Guilford Four"

Behind those English prison walls
So innocent and tortured all
They call for justice and for peace

and a chance to live again
for in their dark and lonely cell
There's no justice, there's no freedom bell

For those Irish men and women there
in prison without crime
So free the people let them go

You can't hold them anymore
But remember too it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls

By the laws of God it's surely wrong
for they suffered now for far too long
and with no evidence, no proof of what

You say they're guilty of
But to me it is a crime, a shame,
How you treated them was all a game

But the howling winds of justice will
cry out to free their names
So free the people let them go

You can't hold them anymore
But remember too it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls

You took away the sunshine and
You took away the rain
You stole away those youthful years they'll never see

again
You robbed them of their freedom and
You jailed them without a crime

You denied them of, their liberty and
You stole away their time
You stole the precious gift of time,

To me it is the greatest crime
So you must free the Guilford Four
You can't hold them any more

Or like the six in Birmingham
And the many others jailed and damned
Release them now and let them go

And justice will be done
So free the people let them go
You can't hold them anymore

But remember too it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls
So free the people let them go

You can't hold them anymore
But remember too it could be me or you
Behind those prison walls
