The Wolfe Tones — The Guildford Four

Behind those English prison walls The innocent and tortured call They call for justice and for peace And a chance to live again For in their dark and lonely cell There's no justice, there's no freedom bell For those Irish men and women there Imprisoned without crime (Chorus) So free the people, let them go You can't hold them anymore But remember, too, it could be me or you Behind those prison walls By the laws of God, it's surely wrong For you've suffered now for far too long And with no evidence, no proof Of what you say they're guilty of But to me it is a crime, a shame How you treated them was all a game But the howling winds of justice will Cry out to free their names (Chorus) So free the people, let them go You can't hold them anymore But remember, too, it could be me or you Behind those prison walls You took away the sunshine And you took away the rain You stole away those youthful years They'll never see again You robbed them of their freedom And you jailed them without crime You deny them of their liberty You stole away their time You stole the precious gift of time To me, it is the greatest crime So you must free the Guildford Four You can't hold them anymore Or like the six in Birmingham And the many others jailed and damned Release them now and let them go And justice will be done (Chorus) So free the people, let them go You can't hold them anymore And remember too, it could be me or you Behind those prison walls So free the people, let them go You can't hold them anymore And remember, too, it could be me or you Behind those prison walls
