        Song：There Were Roses
       
        My song for you this evening
        It's not to make you sad
        Not for adding to the sorrows
        Of our troubled northern land
        But lately I've been thinking
        And it just wont leave my mind
        I'll tell you of two friends one time
        Who were both good friends of mine
        Isaac he was Protestant
        And Sean was Catholic born
        But it never made a difference
        For the friendship it was strong
        And sometimes in the evening
        When we heard the sound of drums
        We said it wont divide us
        We will always be as one
        There were roses, roses
        There were roses
        And the tears of the people ran together
        It was on a Sunday morning
        When the awful news came round
        Another killing had been done
        Just outside Newry Town
        We knew that Isaac danced up there
        We knew he liked the band
        But when we heard that he was dead
        We just could not understand
        Now fear it filled the countryside
        There was fear in every home
        When late at night a car came
        Prowling round the Ryan Road
        A Catholic would be killed tonight
        To even up the score
        Oh Christ, it's young MacDonald
        They have taken from the door
        There were roses, roses
        There were roses
        And the tears of the people ran together
        Isaac was my friend he cried
        He begged them with his tears
        But centuries of hatred
        Have ears that do not hear
        An eye for an eye
        That was all that filled their minds
        And another eye for another eye
        Til everyone is blind
        I don't know where the moral is
        Or where this song should end
        But I wonder just how many wars
        Are fought between good friends
        And those who give the orders
        Are not the ones to die
        It's Scott and young MacDonald
        And the likes of you and I
        There were roses, roses
        There were roses
        And the tears of the people ran together
        There were roses, roses
        There were roses
        And the tears of the people ran together
