"Derry's Walls" is a historical song sung in Northern Ireland. It commemorates the Siege of Derry in 1689. The author of the words is unknown, and it is sung to the tune of "God Bless the Prince of Wales". ==Lyrics== Verse 1 The time has scarce gone round boys Three hundred years ago When Rebels on old Derry's Walls Their faces dare not show When James and all his rebel band Came up to Bishops Gate With heart and hand and sword and shield We forced them to retreat. Chorus. :We'll fight and don't surrender :But come when duty calls, :With heart and hand and sword and shield :We'll guard old Derry's Walls. Verse 2 When blood it flow in crimson streams Through many a winter's night They knew the Lord was on their side To help them in their fight They Nobly stood upon the walls Determined for to die, To fight and gain the victory And raise the Crimson high; Chorus. :They'll fight and don't surrender :But come when duty calls, :With heart and hand and sword and shield :We'll guard old Derry's Walls. Verse 3 At last, at last, with one broad side, Kind heaven sent their aid, The boom that crossed, The Foyle was broke And James he was dismayed The banner, boys, that floated Was run aloft with joy, God bless the hands that broke the boom, And saved the Apprentice Boys! Chorus. :They'll fight and don't surrender :But come when duty calls, :With heart and hand and sword and shield :We'll guard old Derry's Walls. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Derry's Walls」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
