It all began the morning I was dragged to Castlerea

Confessions that convicted me of deeds that were not mine

Sentenced in a Diplock court my protest it began
A Bm D A D
I could not wear that prison gear I was a Blanket Man
A Bm D A Bm D

Over there in London how they’d laugh and sneer

I’ve been held in scalding water my skin with deck scrubs torn

Remember ninety miles away I’m in my H-Block cell
