lirik lagu the sands family - the maidstone
[verse 1]
january 17th in the year of ’72
it was just another day for warder number two
but suddenly he halted and then aloud did groan
there were seven empty beds in the prison ship maidstone
[chorus]
and it’s over the side and down to the water
seven brave irishmen escaping from the slaughter
swimming to the shore from that grimy floating h~ll
to carry on the fight for freedom
[verse 2]
with b~tter and with polish, smeared from head to toe
through the icy waters of the lough they did go
their spirit can’t be broken by torture or by pain
’til ireland is united, we’ll fight and fight again
[chorus]
and it’s over the side and down to the water
seven brave irishmen escaping from the slaughter
swimming to the shore from that grimy floating h~ll
to carry on the fight for freedom
[verse 3]
“i don’t believe the news”, said faulkner at his tea
“my ship it is escape proof for the army have told me”
but the grin fled from his face when the telephone did purr
it was paisley on the line, and boy did he not roar
[chorus]
and it’s over the side and down to the water
seven brave irishmen escaping from the slaughter
swimming to the shore from that grimy floating h~ll
to carry on the fight for freedom
[verse 4]
now if old teddy’s yacht should ever cease to float
in the middle of the arctic far from the nearest coast
when the water fills his shoes and he feels the icy shock
do you think he’ll swim as well as those men in belfast lough?
[chorus]
and it’s over the side and down to the water
seven brave irishmen escaping from the slaughter
swimming to the shore from that grimy floating h~ll
to carry on the fight for freedom
