Wolfe Tones 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
