A Soldier's Song |
In dungeon deep, I know what fate awaits me. |
Tied hand and foot, the foe has bound me fast. |
But in my pain, I pray the God above me |
Will grant this wish I know will be my last. |
Don’t bury me in Erin’s fenian valleys, |
Oh take me home to Ulster, let me rest. |
And on my gravestone, carve this simple message, |
Here lies a Soldier of The UVF. |
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier, |
Who fought and died for all he loved the best. |
Here lies a soldier, here lies a soldier, |
Here lies a Soldier of The UVF. |
So gently drape the Red Hand round my shoulder, |
Pin no heroes medals on my breast, |
And if they ask, then will you kindly tell them, |
Here lies a Soldier of The UVF. |
