Hughes Lives On - The Irish Brigade

In Derry´s hills they mourn a son

Brave an Irish soldier´s gone

That fairly kind still bonds on

For Hughes lives on forever

Freedom´s dawn has come at last

Judgement for injustice past

Your tyranny it´s dying fast

While Hughes lives on forever

A guardian from the hills and dales

Tyrone and Derry loved him well

And tortured in an H- Block cell

Hughes lives on forever

Freedom´s dawn has come at last

Judgement for injustice past

Your tyranny it´s dying fast

While Hughes lives on forever

The scourge of Ireland´s enemies

The SAS and RUC

And conquered still your spirits free

For Hughes lives on forever
