[Verse]
G C
I am a proud young Irishman.
In Ulster's hills my life began;
A happy boy through green fields ran;
I kept God's and man's laws.
G C
But when my age was barely ten
My country's wrongs were told again.
Em Am
By tens of thousands marching men
And my heart stirred to the cause.
[Chorus]
G C G
So I'll wear no convict's uniform
G D
Nor meekly serve my time
G C G
That Britain might brand lreland 's fight
Eight hundred years of crime.
[Verse]
G C
I learned of centuries of strife,
Of cruel laws, injustice rife;
I saw now in my own young life
The fruits of foreign sway:
G C
Protestors threatened, tortured, maimed,
Divisions nurtured, passions flamed,
Em Am
Outrage provoked, right's cause defamed;
D G
That is the conqueror's way.
[Chorus]
G C G
So I'll wear no convict's uniform
G D
Nor meekly serve my time
G C G
That Britain might brand lreland 's fight
Eight hundred years of crime.
[Verse]
G C
Descended from proud Connacht clan,
D G
Concannon served cruel Britain' s plan;
Man' s inhumanity to man
Had spawned a trusty slave.
No strangers are these bolts and locks,
No new design these dark H-Blocks,
Em Am
Black Cromwell lives while Mason stalks;
The bully taunts the brave.
[Chorus]
G C G
So I'll wear no convict's uniform
G D
Nor meekly serve my time
G C G
That Britain might brand lreland 's fight
Eight hundred years of crime.
[Verse]
G C
Does Britain need a thousand years
Of protest, riot, death and tears,
Or will this past decade of fears
Of eighty decades spell
G C
An end to Ireland' s agony,
D G
New hope for human dignity;
Em Am
And will the last obscenity
D G
Be this grim H-Block cell?
[Chorus]
G C G
So I'll wear no convict's uniform
G D
Nor meekly serve my time
G C G
That Britain might brand lreland 's fight
Eight hundred years of crime.
