Come listen all you Irish men as a story I release,
I'll tell you of three markers and will give to you their fate.
For on a bridge, that borders Bloody Derry and Tyrone there
Took place a massacre
The likes we've never known. It was on a Monday morning,
It was the third of June,
The year was 1991 the time 5 hours from noon.
Lawrence mcnally, Micheal Ryan and Tony Doris were the three,
It was their
Life's ambition to set their country free. But as they approached that
Village that was their blood to soak. They were outnumbered 10:1 on
That planters den called Coagh. These men they fought so bravely.
Oh this is
Safe to say, for these were gallant soldiers of the Provisional IRA.
Those murdering British soldiers
Must one day be made to pay. For they burned those rebel corpses,
While in the
Village square they lay. lawrence Mcnally, Micheal Ryan they were
Natives of Clough.
Tony Doris, from Coalisland they did not fear the foe.
The people of Ballinderry, Milltown and Clough should
Not be a wondering
For these men to Coagh did go, for they could not stand idly by
While their people were shot dead. And they hoped that by their
Actions they could
Live in peace instead. Who could forget Pete Ryan his
Memory imprinted on our mind.
Searching any county a soldier like this could find.
For he fought there in the valley among the hills and in
The dills and he fought there in the city street
When he escaped from Crumbling jail. Lawrence
Mcnally came from Alek More,
His age was 38 I bet that he was smiling on the day he met his fate.
From Lockney to the border as exploits were off
Renown he was loved by his own
People, and hated by the crown. Tony Doris from Coalisland was the
Youngest of the three it was a boy
Journing to see his country free.
It was part of Tony's raring oppression to detest.
He was a fearless soldier, Tony was the best. This sad story now
Is ending but one
Question, still remains. And until we find the answer, these men have
Died in vein for suspicion now, it hovers. Like a
Cloud of dark and gloom, was it plans foretold?
Or Judas gold which send these men, to their doom.
