Shebeen - Back Home in Derry(BEST VERSION)

WRITTEN BY BOBBY SANDS.. Irish Rebel band shebeen version of back home in derry
In eighteen-o-three we sailed out to sea
Out from the sweet town of Derry
For Australia bound, if we didn't all drown
The marks of our fetters we carried
In our rusty iron chains we cried for our weans
Our good women we left in sorrow
As the main sails unfurled, our curses we hurled
On the English and thoughts of tomorrow
At the mouth of the Foyle, bade farewell to the soil
As down below decks we were lying
O'Doherty screamed, woken out of a dream
By a vision of bold Robert dying
The sun burnt cruel as we dished out the gruel
Dan O'Conner was down with a fever
Sixty rebels today, bound for Botany Bay
How many will reach their receiver
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
I cursed them to hell as our bow fought the swell
Our ship danced like a moth in the firelight
White horses rode high as the devil passed by
Taking souls to Hades by twilight
Five weeks out to sea, we were now forty-three
We buried our comrades each morning
In our own slime we were lost in the time
Endless night without dawning
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Van Diemen's Land is a hell for a man
To end out his whole life in slavery
Where the climate is raw and a gun makes the law
Neither wind nor rain care for bravery
Twenty years have gone by, I have ended my bond
My comrades' ghosts walk beside me
A rebel I came, I'm still the same
On the cold winds of night you will find me
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry
Oh oh oh oh oh I wish I was back home in Derry

I was born and raised in Derry, behind Free Derry corner when it was more than a tourist attractio. But I'm listening to this because I like the fucking song. Please try to keep your petty politics away from letting others enjoy great culture, art, music and most of all great people.

[@girayhankaya]

this group,unlike eire og,uses the primitive way of singing and always composes good tunes in which people find something from themselves

[@tearlach45]

[@GarngadLoyalists]

It's Londenderry

[@GoryWory]

Ok, just one question. Why do Irish people sings this kind of a song on English language? Learn your language, it is the most basic point of your identity. Until than, you will be nothing but the English spit box (this also counts for Scots, and Welsh)

[@GoryWory]

Sorry mate, I still think you should not sing this kind of songs on English language. You sing on the language of your own executioner - and you know i am right. Learn your native language- AND FAST! All the best!

[@GoryWory]

Haha, my English is bad, but i know my native language. Also I don`t see a reason for fight here, i came to you with logical reason, it is not my fault you are offended bu it

[@feidhelmofoghladha5525]

+IRISH LAD Its simple, all those starting school for the first time, learn everything as Gaeilge, learn english as a subject just like French or Spanish......KIds learn in school and the parents will in turn learn off them..................

[@feidhelmofoghladha5525]

***** Parents would help the kid in English, as the kid would help the parent in Irish... As for the teachers, the will just have to learn lol.. I thought to be a teacher you needed Irish???

[@feidhelmofoghladha5525]

***** I suppose not, you don't need Irish for much anymore. Pity
