Twas on a Sunday evening the sun was in the sky
As he walked his way to the Gaelic pitch never thinking he was going to die
But as he crossed the checkpoint the sound of gunfire came
The news spread through the border town Aiden McAnespie was slain
For years he was harassed by the forces of the crown
As he went to his work every day he left his native town
The soldiers swore theyґd get him the reason no one can say
And sure enough they murdered him in cold blood that sunny day
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
The people heard the gunfire they came from miles around
They saw that young man lying there dying on the ground
His hold on life was fading fast and people they tried their best
That bullet wound it was far to deep it went right through his chest
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
Aiden's life had ended it was time for judgement day
The soldier he jumped down from the tower and the coward he slipped away
God's curse on you Britannia for this cruel deed youґve done
But god will have his final say when your judgement day it comes
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
To say it was an accident is the greatest crime of all
To his heart-broken family the worst had 'er befalled
A cross it marks the lonely spot where Aiden was gunned down
As he strolled on that sunny evening on his way to the Gaelic ground
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
