[Intro]
[Verse]
It was on a Sunday evening the sun shone in the sky
As he walked his way to the Gaelic ground never thinking he was going to die
But as he crossed the checkpoint the sound of gunfire came
As the news spread through the border town Aiden McAnespie was slain
[Chorus]
Oh why did you do it?
Have you not the guts to say
You say it was an accident or even a ricochet
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar your lies are well renowned
You murdered Aiden McAnespie on his way to the Gaelic ground
[Verse]
For years he was harassed by the forces of the crown
As he went to work each mornin he left his native town
The soldiers swore they´d get him for reasons no one can say
And sure enough they murdered him in cold blood that sunny day
[Chorus] Ñ

To say it was an accident was the greatest crime of all
To his heart-broken family it was the worst that can befall
A cross it marks the lonely spot where Aiden he was shot down
As he walked on that Sunday evening on his way to the Gaelic ground
[Solo]
(to the rhythm of the verses)
x2
[Chorus] Ñ
2
Aidens life had ended it was time for judgement day
A soldier he jumped out from the tower and the coward he slipped away
God´s curse on you England for this cruel deed you have done
But God will have his final say when your day of judgement comes
