Well it was sunday bloody sunday, when they shot the people there
The cries of thirteen martyrs, filled the free Derry air
         G
Is there any one among you, dare to blame it on the kids?
      A!
Not a soldier boy was bleeding when they nailed the coffin lidds

  Sunday bloody sunday bloody sunday's the day  w/ do it

You claim to be majority, well you know that it's a lie
You're really a minority, oh this sweet emerald isle
When Stormont bans our marchers, they've got a lot to learn
Internment is no answer it's those mother's turn to burn

  Sunday bloody sunday bloody sunday's the day

Couplet muet  w/ solo

  Sunday bloody sunday bloody sunday's the day

You anglo pigs and scotties, sent to colonize the North
You wave your bloody Union Jack, and you know what it's worth
How dare you hold to ransom, a people proud and free
Keep Ireland for the Irish put the English back to sea

  Sunday bloody sunday bloody sunday's the day

Couplet muet  w/ solo

  Sunday bloody sunday bloody sunday's the day

Well it's always bloody Sunday, in the concentration camps
Keep Falls Road free forever, from the bloody English hands
Repatriate to Britain, all of you who call it home
Leave Ireland to the Irish not for London or for Rome

  Sunday bloody sunday bloody sunday's the day  x 9
