From The Shankill To The Somme

At the age of sixteen years he left his home in tears His mother watched as he walked out the door As his family bade farewell and his neighbours wished him well From the road his dad and brother took before And as the ship set sail for France he gave Belfast one more glance As the ship began to move away from shore He could see there on the land the proud YCV flute band And he could hear them play "The sash my father wore" From the Shankill Road they went oh their young lives to be spent On the first day of july, so long ago All for the deeds that they have done and the glories they had won We'll remember as long as the bright red poppies grow When they charged from Thiepval wood they were in a fighting mood As they forced their way across the fields of fire As they stormed that great redoubt you could hear those Ulster shout As they lay dyin midst the twisted shells and wire From the Shankill Road they went oh their young lives to be spent On the first day of july so long ago All for the deeds that they had done and the glory they had won We'll remember as long as the bright red poppies grow On the 9th day of july you could hear a mothers cry Her eyes were red and filled with loving tears Oh God my son has died he was fighting side by side With the boys and men of the Ulster volunteers From the Shankill Road they went sure their young lives to be spent On the first day of july so long ago All for the deeds that they have done and the glories they had won We'll remember as long as the bright red poppies grow From the Shankill Road they went oh their young lives to be spent On the first day of july so long ago All for the deeds that they have done and the glories they had won We remember as long as the bright red poppies grow From the Shankill Road they went oh their young lives to be spent On the first day of july so long ago All the deeds that they have done and the glories they had won We'll remember as long as the bright red poppies grow We'll remember as long as the bright red poppies grow
