Joe McCann Eamon O'Doherty Come all of you fine people wherever you may be I'll sing of a brave Belfast man Who scorned Britain's might though they'd shoot him on sight And the shot down Joe McCann In a Belfast bakery in the August of that year When internment was imposed throughout the land Six volunteers from Belfast held 60 soldiers at bay And their leader was Joe McCann brave Joe McCann He fought for the people in the markets where he lived In defence of the rights of man But the undercover crew told the soldiers what to do They shot Joe McCann brave Jpe McCann He had no gun so he started to run To escape them as many's the time before One bullet brought him down as he lay on the ground They shot him ten times more He fought and he died for the people of this land The protestant and catholic working man He caused the bosses fear and for this they paid him dear When they murdered brave Joe McCann When they murdered brave Joe McCann
