Colonel Mustard 380 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 As the title says.Anyone got an idea?Projecting it further, if we don't actually sing the correct words for such an iconic anthem as Derry's Walls, what's to stop us changing the lyrics in TBB to suit our present predicament?Just interested.

marmalade1872 40 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 There's no surrender or you'll die in the original lyrics.Tbh i've always wondered myself why we don't sing the original version. The time has scarce gone round boysThree hundred years agoWhen Rebels on old Derry's WallsTheir faces dare not showWhen James and all his rebel bandCame up to Bishops GateWith heart and hand and sword and shieldWe forced them to retreat.Chorus.We'll fight and don't surrenderBut come when duty calls,With heart and hand and sword and shieldWe'll guard old Derry's Walls.Verse 2When blood it flow in crimson streamsThrough many a winter's nightThey knew the Lord was on their sideTo help them in their fightThey Nobly stood upon the wallsDetermined for to fight,To fight and gain the victoryAnd raise the Crimson high;Chorus.They'll fight and don't surrenderBut come when duty calls,With heart and hand and sword and shieldWe'll guard old Derry's Walls.Verse 3At last, at last, with one broad side,Kind heaven sent their aid,The boom that crossed, The Foyle was brokeAnd James he was dismayedThe banner, boys, that floatedWas run aloft with joy,God bless the hands that broke the boom,And saved the Apprentice Boys!Chorus.They'll fight and don't surrenderBut come when duty calls,With heart and hand and sword and shieldWe'll guard old Derry's Walls.tip top fpr me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Manticore* 1,893 Posted December 2, 2011 Share Posted December 2, 2011 I was singing the 'correct'lyrics just the other night.Although I'm not sure how a popular short alternative version regularly sung by 10s of thousands of people is in some way incorrect.
