Among the hills of green Tyrone an Irish soldier lies The youthful Martin Hurson who for Ireland gave his life To uphold his country's dignity he followed Bobby Sands On hunger strike for human rights till death he took his stand Through dreary days in that H-Block cage my thoughts return to you Though beaten low by savage foe your memories saw me through In tortured nights your prayers Brought light and soothed my fears and pain And though I'm gone you must fight on till Ireland is free again Now gaunt and pale my H-Block Cell my heart still burns aflame In fondest dreams I drilled it seems among your hills again A guiding light to lead the fight to free my green Tyrone The voice of truth for Irish youth to crush the British throne Farewell my native green Tyrone and you sweet Bernadette My parents and companions brave I'm watching over you yet Of Cappagh's braes my childhood days my memories I recall And so adieu to the land I love true a chairde, slán go fóill
