[Verse 1]
‘Twas on a Sunday evening
The sun shone in the sky
As he made his way to the Gaelic ground
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
Aidan McAnespie was slain
[Chorus]
Oh why would you do it?
Have you not the guts to say?
To say it was an accident
Or even a ricochet
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar
Your lies are well renowned
For you murdered Aidan McAnespie
On his way to the Gaelic ground
[Verse 2]
For years he was hounded
By the forces of the crown
As he walked to work every day
He left his native town
The soldiers swore they'd get him
For reasons no one could say
And sure enough they murdered him
In cold blood on that sunny day
‘Twas on a Sunday evening
The sun shone in the sky
As he made his way to the Gaelic ground
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
Aidan McAnespie was slain
[Chorus]
Oh why would you do it?
Have you not the guts to say?
To say it was an accident
Or even a ricochet
But like Loughgall and Gibraltar
Your lies are well renowned
For you murdered Aidan McAnespie
On his way to the Gaelic ground
[Verse 2]
For years he was hounded
By the forces of the crown
As he walked to work every day
He left his native town
The soldiers swore they'd get him
For reasons no one could say
And sure enough they murdered him
In cold blood on that sunny day
